Notes
In Burchell, 7801/2, Mund, 48, Bolus, 5195, 5424, 9930, and Schlechter, 7818, the cilia on the calyx-lobes are much shorter and less evident than in the other specimens, but are much more conspicuous than in any specimen of S. capitellata, and appear to be somewhat intermediate. Schlechter, 9246, as sent to Kew, consists of 3 forms of this plant, one of which has puberulous leaves. Sieber (?) 154, is somewhat intermediate between this species and S. brachyphylla.
