Information
corolla-lobes narrowly margined and covered with small irregularly scattered spots of dark purple-brown, without intermingling lines or a suffusion of purple-brown at their base around the subpentagonal annulus, which is of a paler yellow with rather small dots of purple-brown; outer corona-lobes not much longer than broad, oblong, shortly bifid, with a broad notch and subparallel or very slightly diverging obtuse teeth, pale yellowish dotted only on the teeth with purple-brown and with 3 spots of the same colour at the base, “the middle one oblong, yellow in the centre, the lateral shorter, clavate” (Willdenow); horns of the inner corona diverging, with the outer subulate, obtuse; otherwise as in the type. null
Notes
I have seen a specimen of this from Herb. Link in the Berlin Herbarium, but have not seen it alive.[S. marginata, Rüst in Monatsschr. Kakt. vi. 37, not of Willd., is a hybrid, with a corolla about 3 in. in diam.; lobes minutely but distinctly ciliate with (apparently) simple hairs, dark purple-brown along the margins and on the apical half, with the centre of the basal half yellow, spotted with purple-brown, and the disk around the annulus purple-brown; annulus circular, light yellow, densely spotted with purple-brown in the cup, almost without spots on the rim; outer corona-lobes oblong-linear, bifid to 1/3 of the way down, pale yellow, dusted on the teeth and down the centre with purple-brown and having a spot at the base.]
