The differences between S. Wilsonii and S. glandulosa seem to be very 

 slight and both are possibly only forms of one species, as suggested already 

 by Schneider (in Bailey, Gent. Herb. i. 17). Loesener enumerates (1. c.) 

 also a S. glandulosa forma vel pi. hybrida collected at Haipo. The plant 

 has one or mostly two stamens and may be a hybrid with a diandrous 

 species.
