June 1913. Plant of 1-2 inches. Flowers ruddy-green. Open 
limestone rocks. G. Forrest, No. 10,319. 
A very elegant plant, recalling especially in its flowers a tiny 
S. roseum, but differing from the roseum group in its well-devel- 
oped caudex-scales. 
S. coreense, Nakai.

Nakai’s description is meagre, especially as regards the flower, 
and may be amplified from a good series of Corean specimens Or 
Faurie’s and Taquet’s collecting in Herb. Léveillé (named in all 
cases S. polytrichoides, Hemsley). 
Plant perennial, tufted. Barren shoots quite short, with leaves 
crowded at apex. Lower leaves of the flowering shoots small, 
and with those of the previous season persistent and withering, 
forming the ‘‘squamae rubrae’”’ of the description. 
Inflorescence of 2-3 simple or forked 3-q-flowered branches. 
Sepals deltoid, blunt, 1.5 mm. long, 1 mm. wide at base. Petals 
elongate, lanceolate-deltoid, rather blunt, 5 mm. long, with a 
mucro falling short of the tip. Stamens 2.5 mm. long, the 
epipetalous ones inserted near base. Scales spathulate, emar- 
ginate, only .25 mm: long. Carpels 3 mm. long, tapering into 
the styles. 
The main points of ie with Nakai’s diagnosis are in 
the sepals and petals, the latter beitig twice as long as in his
