fiemblino^ the foregoing in leaves, the flowera of which are not on tnber- 
clefl but ariae singly or in pairs from the leaf-axile, and this I have 
named S. macrantha^ 
As in the case of 3. Jlavescem there is a considemble range in the 
b17,(? of the flowers of 8, grandijlora^ some nicasuriiig only '25 in, diam., 
while others are "45 in. There is also some diflerence in the sliape 
of the leaves. The specimens with very long, comparatively narrow, 
leaves have been accepted as a species by Mr. Lawsoa. But I cannot 
find that these differ in their flowers from Helfer*B No. 896 (Kew Dia- 
trib.) which Kni-z, the author of this species, has named S. grandijlora 
vrith his own hand. I therefore treat these as a variety only.

also iu having larger more rotund leaves and larger fiowers and fruit.
