Only known from Drége’s original specimen. Lindley remarked: “ This looks 
like a starved state of S. cucullatum (ie. 8. bicorne), but the form and texture of 
he flowers are different.” S. ochroleucwm, Bolus, has since been considered 
identical, hut in that the stigma is much shorter and broader. The origin of the 
confusion is probably that Lindley himself wrote ‘‘S, humile, m.,”’ on a sheet in 
Sir William Hooker's Herbarium. This sheet contains two small specimens of 
oleucum, Bolus, localised ‘‘Cape,” and without any collector’s name 
but they are quite different from the two specimens collected by Drége on 
which Lindley founded the species, and which are preserved in his own 
erbarium.
