Leaves 7-12 x 4-8 cm., drying grey or greyish-brown, somewhut 

 paler on the lower side ; nerves slightly impressed on the upper side, 

 prominent on the lower, midrib more prominent than the lateral 

 pairs, basal pair of the latter usually somewhat the less prominent ; 

 nervelets numerous, inserted on the midrib at varying angles, dividing 

 to form an open reticulum easily visible on the lower side, with some 

 difficulty on the upper ; petioles stout, .channelled above, 5-7 mm. 

 long. Cymes 2-2*5 x 2-5-3 cm.; branches several, minutely hairy, 

 the ultimate ones ending in three flowers of which the central is 

 sessile and the lateral supported by pedicels about 1 mm. in length. 

 Bracts as long as and closely apposed to the pedicels. Segments of 

 calyx 1 mm. long. Corolla 3-25 mm. long, of which 1'25 belongs to 

 the tube. Filaments flattened and fleshy, • 75 mm. long ; anthers 

 broadly oblong-ovate, very obtuse, 1 mm. long. Ovary and style 

 each 1 mm. long. Berry 20-25 x 18-20 mm., with a brown exocarp 

 in the dry state. Seeds not seen. 



S. Staudtii Gilg, to which this seems nearest, has narrower 

 leaves with the basal pair of lateral nerves not neai-ly so proimnent, 

 larger flowers with a double ring of hairs in the tube of the corolla, 

 exserted style, etc.
