Branches as in S. Grantii, but perhaps rather stouter, glabrous. Leaves thinly fleshy, 3–4 1/2 in. long, 1 3/4–2 1/2 in. broad, cuneately obovate, broadly rounded into a very short recurved acute point at the apex, narrowing from a little above the middle to the subsessile base, rather finely and serrately crinkled at the subrevolute margins, with an acute wing-like keel along the midrib beneath, 2/3–1 lin. broad at the basal part, glabrous on both sides. Peduncle 3/4–1 in. long, moderately stout, glabrous, bearing a compact corymb-like umbel 1 3/4–2 1/2 in. in diam. of 4 puberulous rays, which are twice forked, with a sessile involucre in each fork and 1–3 at the end of each branchlet; bracts 1/12 in. long, 1/6 in. broad, transversely rectangular, minutely toothed along the truncate top, with here and there a gland, very finely ciliate down the sides, puberulous on the back and part of the inner surface. Involucre about 1/5 in. in diam. and scarcely 1/16 in. deep, saucer-like, open or notched on one side to half-way down (always?) with a very spreading entire margin (gland), apparently bright red; lobes erect, much overtopping the gland, slightly puberulous at the base on the back, otherwise glabrous on both sides. Ovary and capsule erect, minutely puberulous; perianth-lobes very minute, rounded; styles connate at the base, shortly bifid at the apex, with roundish stigmas, thinly puberulous, at least on the lower part.
