Habitat in Camerunia in ramnlis arborum, nbi ad Ekundu Ndene emporium m. Martio a.

Stånds near to S. disciformis and S. spurio-disciformis, but is mnch smaller, differing in 

 the leaves of the rosula being limbate only at the base and the niiddle, in the mnch shorter peri- 

 stome, the teeth of which, in a humid state, are quite horizontal, not reaehing ont of the month 

 of the capsnle, in the distinct collum etc. 



As is the case with the genns Calyinperes, propagation by means of gemmse is also very 

 common with the different species of Syrrhopodon, or, at least, with those of its snbgenns Cahjm- 

 peropsis. They are prodnced at or somewhat above the middle of the nerve of the leaves and 

 mnch longer than the gemime of the species of Cälymperes, looking almost like paraphyses.
