This is so much like S. Carsoni, N. E. Br., except in the colour of its flowers, 
that I am very doubtful if it be anything more than a colour variety of that species, 
it appears, however, to be a dwarfer plant according to description, for I have only 
seen a leaf and 3 flowers of it.

I have not seen this plant. Is it distinct from S. Carsoni, N. E. Br. ?
