aequans; bracteae iis florum cf similes, ovariis subaequilongae, gla-

Western Szech'uan: southeast of Tachien-lu, thickets, alt. 3700 

 m., July 1908 (No. 2139, type; c^ ; No. 2139^; bush 1-3 m.; ?); 

 without locality, alt. 3700-4000 m., July 1903 (Veitch Exped. Nos. 

 4519, 4519"; bush 1.2 m.; 9 flowers and fruits). 



This species seems to be nearly related to S. Jloccosa Burkill, of which I have not 

 seen any material. According to Burkill's description his species differs in having 

 somewhat longer and narrower leaves and sUghtly hairy ovaries. Both species 

 need further investigation. 



The specific name is derived from oyj/^ifios, late, and avBos, flower.
