Very near S. cuspidata Brand (in Engler Pfl.- 

 reich Symjilocacea? ]). 69, n. 185). So f\xr as I 

 can judge from the original description of Br.vxd, I 

 can not detect any difiference between this and my 

 species, except the leaves ^\-liicli are in our plant are 

 a little naiTower. As Brand's description is very sliort 

 and gives no account about the venation of the leaves, 

 it is at present impossible to decide whether the two 

 are the samc or not.

Differs from the type by the remotely serndate and a little broader leaves. 

 As the leaves are subject to some variation, the variety may be a mere form 

 of the tyjje. I could not detect any difference between the flowers of the variety
