S. cupuliferum shows better than any other species that I have 
examined that the glands of the inflorescence are really append- 
inent 
ages of the bracts though much more prom than the bracts 
themse] In general appearance it so strongly resembles S. margi- 
ratum, Muell. Arg., that it might easily be mistaken for that species.—
