A curious little plant, found in gardens under the name of S. cyaneum, but quite different from 5. cyaneum Rudolph. I was at first inclined to treat it as a distinct species, but its flowers are practically identical. Fig. 46.—S. Ewersii Ledeb. var. homophyllum nov. with those of S. Ewersii, and its leaves with those of the barren shoots of that species.
