The present species comes closest to 8. pedunculata Domin non 
Onnn. The only thing it has in common, however, apart from hoary 
vestiture, is its inflorescence which varies from simple to compound, 
in the latter case the branches or pedicels being subtended by three 
bracts, the two outer of which probably represent stipules, the inner 
one a much reduced leaf. S. pedunculata Domin (at least as far as 
the Queensland specimens are concerned), I should say is referable to 
8. ftbulifera Lindl. This has a much shorter inflorescence and smaller 
(fruits and carpels than 8. CuWningh amii C. T. White. I would like 
to have retained Cunningham’s name for the species but this was only 
quoted in synonymy (though accompanied by a few descriptive notes) 
and Domin ’s name must therefore stand.
