not of so dark a green, nor so shining, have the veins much
less deeply exarate, and are scarcely pubescent on either
side, except on the stalks and about the midrib, and their
slightly recurved edges are more obscurely serrated, or
rather crenate. The stipules are small and vaulted, their
upper disk, as well as edges, covered with glands. The
germen is similar in shape, but beset in the upper part with
appressed, white, silky hairs; its stalk naked or very slightly
hairy. The style is not cloven, and the stigmas spread but
little. The underside is blueish in young leaves.
The specimens with “ partially silky germens” mentioned
under S. •petrosa in Hooker’s English Flora, p. 428, probably
belong to S. propinqua.—W. B.
