Engler, in describing this species under the name of S. calycinum, Welw., in 

 Jahrb. xix. 158, states that the lower leaves are sometimes 3-partite, and usually 

 oblong and coarsely dentate along the whole margin. All the leaves of the specimens 

 ■enumerated above are quite entire, with the exception of a few on Kirk's specimen 

 from Dar-es-Salam, which are slightly repantl. Engler indicates this species also 

 from the following localities in German East Africa : — Usagara ; Mpwapwa, 

 Stuhlmann, 270 ; B.igamoyo, Hildehrandt, 1192 b ; Ugalla, near Gondii, Bohm, 30 ;
