foliis alternis, sessilibus, ovato-oblongis, obsolete serratis, supra

at apex, has not since been recognized. The description points to a 
Poorly developed S. foetida. 
Simsia pastoensis Triana, Ann. Sci. Nat. sér. 4. ix. 40 (1858), from 
Columbia, has not since been identified. It seems to be related to 
8. Dubescens Triana and S. Sodiroi (Hieron.) Blake. The original 
description reads thus: “Suffrutex, ramis teretibus sparse molliter
