Mexico. Llano Verde, Faritegs 500, and cultivated specimen. 
This fine species was originally discovered y y Bilis in 
1839 and mistakenly identified with S. grandiflora, Sw., and 
subsequently with S. guttata, Don, from both of which it is 
entirely different, A living plant of it was introduced from Mexico 
over 30 years ago by Mr. Moxam, formerly of Leyton in Essex. 
This plant or a portion of it was obtained and cultivated as 
S. grandiflora by - J. C. Daubuz, at Truro, in Cornwall, whence 
it was obtained by Sir Frederick Moore, Keeper of the | oyal 
Botanic Gardens, Glaanevin, Dublin, who forwarded it to Kew for 
determination.
