Anamallay mountains 4-5000 feet, and also in Ceylon. The plant figured is from the former locality and I have no Ceylon 
specimens for comparison, but Dr. Anderson refers my specimens to this species.

Of the following 5 Ceylon species I have no specimens. 
S. Gardnerianus, Nees. ; S. scaber, Wall.; S. Ilookeri, Nees. ; S. vestitus, Nees. ; S. Arnottianus, Nees, • nor have I spec 
mens of S. callosus, Nees } which occurs on the Concan ghats and in the Nagpore country. 
Besides these Bentham describes (Walps. Ann. Ill, 218) a South Canara species under the name of S. microstachys, which 
is unknown to me ; and I do not know S. rubicundus (Leptacanthus, Nees.) a South Indian plant, and I have a new species only j u 
leaf (somewhat allied to S. perfoliatus) from the higher ranges of the Anamallays ; this gives a total of 59 species for Southern India 
and Ceylon,
