This species is allied to S. (Belowia) paradoxa Bunge, (of 
wkick I have seen the original specimen), but the ramification is 
very different, S. paradoxa bearing tbe branches on the superior 
part of tbe stem. Also tbe leaves and tbe infiorescense differs 
from that of S. paradoxa , which is a big and erect plant, while 
S. Olufsenii is little and prostrate. I have named tbis species after 
Lieutenant O. Olufsen, tbe head of tbe expedition.
