This species, which on account of its 5 styles has been proposed as a 

 fllstinct genus, appears too nearly allied to the preceeding to be separated 

 from it. In its general habit and appearance it closely resembles the S. 

 Vir^nica, its flowers however are rather larger, and of a cream colour ra- 

 ther than white. 



Grows in the mountains of Carolina and Georgitr. 



Flowers May— July.
