Hanc nostram mecum pro hybrida agnoverunt G. F. W. Meyer 

 et RitschL E solis foliis vix haec a S. pentandra discerni potest, 

 quanquam iuxta eam posita minori splendore et foliis longius acu- 

 minatis speciem praebet diversam; praeterea numerus staminum fere 

 constans, iuli tenuiores minus spissi, tempus florendi inter S. pen- 

 tandram et S. fragilem medium hybridam naturam huius formae 

 indicant. Folia in petiolo 5 lin. longo, sub ipso folio glanduloso, 

 oblongo-lanceolata, basi cuneata, 4 lin. longa, unciam fere lata, a 

 partc media sensim angustato - acuminata , acumine ipso tenuissimo, 

 margine regulariter argute cartilagineo-serrata; subtus pallide-viridia; 

 etiam novella glaberrima. Bracteolae fl. 9 ^^ nostris dense pube- 

 scentes, hinc canae; stylus crassiusculus semper fere bifidus. luli J^ 

 in pednnculo 8 — 10 lin. longo, fere 2 unc. longi, 4 — 5 lin. lati.
