It is stated in the Botanical Register, by mistake, that this plant was 
brought from Trinidad; it was found in Jamaica by Mr. George Don, 
while there in the service of the Horticultural Society. The leaves are 
sometimes whole coloured and sometimes mottled, as in S. picta. The 
base of ail the sepals is equally inflated, so as to make the little white 
flowers protuberant all round above the neck of the ovary.
