plainly 3-toothed at the apex. S. fuscoimrjniremn is Si wery rare 

 plant, represented hitherto in this country only by a drawing and 

 a few flowers in the Welwitsch herbarium. It is in Mr. Gossweiler's 

 Angolan collection, who found it growing among grasses on the 

 sandy banks of the Cubango Eiver (no. 2315). 



S. Baumii Schlechter, also very rare, is in the same collection ; 

 the locality is, marshes in the valley of the Eiver Tiengo, Kiuto 

 (nos. 3669, 3763).
