Distribution
COAST REGION Bathurst Div.; near or east of the Kowie River, Ecklon or Zeyher! Fort Beaufort or Queenstown Div.; Winterberg Range, Ecklon, 24 (ex Turczaninow), Stutterheim Div.; Mount Dohne, 4000–4500 ft., Bolus, 10189!EASTERN REGION Transkei; Tsomo, Mrs. Barber, 863! Tembuland; Engcobo Mountain, 4500 ft., Bolus!
Notes
This differs from S. virgatus by its much smaller flowers and oblong (not transverse) and more densely ciliate anthers. S. imberbis, var. barbatus, Schlechter in Engl. Jahrb. xx. Beibl. 51, 46, I am unable to identify, as no specimen is quoted, but from his description it is evident that Dr. Schlechter is mistaken in supposing it to be Lagarinthus barbatus, Turcz.
