S. rothomagensis, A. Rich., S. dubia, Pers. and S. correlata, 
A. Br. (ex Deene.), appears to be a cultivated hybrid; but its 
origin has been variously explained; and Debeaux (Fl. Tients. 
p. 29) states that it is cultivated in gardens around Tientsin. 
There is some confusion between this and S. oblata. |
