Shrub; flowering in May. 
This species in its general appearance much resembles S. purpurea ; 
but Mr. Borrer, as stated in the British Flora, considers it correctly 
placed in the present division, on account of its stalked germens, 
which have little resemblance to those of Monandre, but are closely 
analagous with those of §. fusca, to which species he thinks there is 
considerable affinity in the foliage also.
