This species is somewhat nearly allied to S, discolor Colebr. of which it has quite 
the corolla and has also, near the top of the spike, the scattered flowers. In foliage 
it, on the other hand, imitates 8. oblonga Benth., a species growing at elevations of 5,000 
feet in Ceylon. It has, however, a calyx which in ripe fruit is only one-third the size of 
that of 5, oblonga and which is not longer even then than its pedicel, whereas the ripe 
calyx of S. oblonga considerably exceeds its pedicel in length. Тһе plant now described 
has proved a welcome addition to Indizn horticulture; its neat compact habit and its: 
dark green leaves with a purplish tinge 5eneath render it useful, particularly іп plant- 
ing rockwork. !
