De Candolle described this species from a drawing. Subsequently a cultivated plant 
was identified with the figure by the late A. A. Black, which, with this amended 
description, may now be regarded as typical.

This species closely resembles S. sparsiflorum, Nutt., to which we at first referred it ; 
but it differs in its white petals, much less divergent carpels, and in its dark, distinctly 
pitted seeds. The habit, too, is somewhat different.
