Very near S. lanc.ifolia S. et Z., but differs from it by the much smaller 

 bracts, smaller calyx-lobes, larger corolla, and shortly stalked fruits. Also near 

 S. microcarpa CHAMP, and S. caudata WALL., but distinguishable from them by 

 the much smaller leaves and ovary which is very pilose at the apex.
