Species affinis S. algido, Ledeb. sed petalis acuminatis 
flagellato-apiculatis margine erosulis differt; valde proxima 
S. rarifloro, N. E. Br. quod floribus laxissimis, sepalis patulis 
recedit, petalis subsimilibus gaudet.

No. 238. iz 
This species is very closely allied to S. rariflorum, N. E. Br., 
which was obtained at gooo ft. elevation in Chihli and described 
from a living plant sent t6 Kew in 1914. The petals in form 
suggest strongly the acuminate serrulate leaves of many mosses.
