Schizeilema. | UMBELLIFERAE. 653 
Very closely allied to S. eaiguum, but apparently differing in the much more slender 
habit of growth, in the usually entire leaves, which are thinner in texture, scarcely 
coriaceous, and do not have recurved margins, and (according to Dr. Diels) in some minor 
details of the inflorescence. The only specimens I have seen are few in number and 
in poor condition, and I have therefore availed myself of Dr. Diels’s description, quoted 
by Dr. Cockayne.

This species and 8. Cockaynei form a very distinct little group, widely deviating 
from. all the other members of the genus in the diminutive size, almost stemless habit, 
and in the leaves being either quite entire or only very obscurely lobed.
