Caulis 0-2-0°3 cm. diam., subteres; internodia pleraque 1:0-

noe em. et bractez a em. long. Calycis tubus 
lobi 0- wi em one: at. Capsula nondum matura oblonga,

This has cael the general appearance of S. cana Harv., 
but here the resemblance ceases; neither do I know of any species 
for which it is likely to be mistaken.
