 staminal tube somewhat longer than the corolla-tube ; filaments very 

 short, slender ; anthers small, rounded. Ovary and disk villous ; style

This species, which in the Y\. Br. Ind. was placed under iS'. Henschelii, has been 

 separated by Brand, who considers the true S. Henschelii [Cordylohlaste Henschelii, 

 Moritzi in Bot. Zeit. vi. 604 (1848), to be a Java plant only. It is not thought neces- 

 sary to maintain Clarke's var. hirtistylis.
