 from Kji;hraea (SR 96) in the Kew-Herbarium appertain.

A frutescent species, related with S. cretica L., S. trifoliolata (Chaub. et Bor.) Hal., S. hirdka

The leaves are not always quite entire, as indicated by Post, but have often two small obloug

 may be seen also on'the type-specimens of Post, but have escaped his attention.
