The ttype of Plagiostemon puberulus, Kl. in the Berlin Herbarium in habit, stoutness & general appearance exactly resembles S. klotzschianus var. glabriflorus (Schlechter 7908). But its young leaves are crowded in small dense terminal tufts & are densely pubescent. Bolus 8677 & Schlechter 8042 doubtlessbelong to S.klotzschianus but are more slender in habit. The type is a very poor specimen, exactly like one of the sout branches of Schlechter 7908. Compared with Klotsch's type Nov. 2. 1905 N.E.Brown With K000225529
