half about 5 mm. ; lobes suborbicular, about 3 x 3 mm. Filaments of 

 front stamens 3mm., of hinder-pair 1 mm. long; anthers obtuse, 1.7- 

 1.9 mm. long. Ovary nearly 2 mm., style 9 mm. long. Capsule 

 9 x 2.2 mm., light brown ; seeds barely 2 mm. in diameter. 



At sight this is barely distinguishable from the Indo-Burme^e 

 S. scaber Ness, as understood by Clarke : the somewhat smaller 

 flowers with great'y reduced filiform bracteoles afford an easy means 

 of identification. 



A small specimen from Dran, 3,000-4,000 ft., is conspecific.

Langbian Peaks, 6,500ft. 



Leaf apparently about 4 cm. long (top not seen), only 3.5 mm. 

 broad. Peduncles of the flowering heads slender, usually 1-2 cm. long. 

 Pedicels 3-4 mm. Calyx 25-28 mm. long. Corolla 34 mm. long, the 

 narrow portion 8x2 mm., tube enlarged to 10 mm. wide in the 

 middle and 15 mm. at the throat; lobes 5x5 mm. Anthers ovate, 

 1.5 mm. long. Ovary narrowed below, 6 mm., style 20 mm. long. 

 Capsule 18-20 mm. in length, brown. Seeds gi'ey, 4 x 4-4.5 mm. 



A very distinct species, near S. isojiliyllus T. And., and S- 

 oligocephalus T. And. The narrow leaves and long lobes of the 

 calyx are special features. 



The material is incomplete, there being but one leaf, and that 

 not quite entire, as well as only a single corolla, which it has been
