The present plant comes very near S. satsumana Maxim:., but differs 

 from it in liaving 5-parted leaves, less spined fruits, smaller flowers, and in 

 the presence of cauline leaves. It differs also in the structure of fruits. 

 Also near S. orthacantha S. Mooke, but differs from it in liaving much 

 smaller flowers and stalked lobes of leaves.
