The present plant was previously recorded for Queensland as S. 
caespitosa R. Br. but differs in being very much larger. The two can be 
distinguished as follows : — 
Plant under 0.5 m. high, leaves under 0.25 m. long and abt. 5 mm. 
wide, perianth segments blue, yellowish or white inside; seeds 
smooth and shining . . . . . . . . . . . . . . S. caespitosa 
Plant 1 m. high, leaves 4 cm. wide, perianth segments deep blue, 
yellowish or white inside, seeds dull, rough . . . . . . S. grandis 
Mr. R. H. Anderson, to whom I submitted specimens of the new 
species, thinking it might occur in the New England country, states that 
he has not seen the plant in New South Wales and considers it quite 
distinct from S. caespitosa R. Br., which is a common plant about Port 
Jackson. This latter species should be deleted from the Queensland Flora 
until .authentic material has been gathered.
