other groups in this genus these plants may better be treated as 
varieties of the typical form. The former is remote geographically 
—it grows in southwestern Idaho and adjacent Nevada —and 
the color of the somewhat less hairy petals is a peculiar delicate 
blue-green. The latter, C. maculosus, represents a variation known 
to many species — the occurrence of a purple spot on the petals. 
This form seems to be local in northern Idaho and adjacent 
¥ Washington.

It is not clear why Durand & Schinz retain in their Conspectus 
Florae Africae v. 393 (1893) the binomial S. indica for this plant 
unless they considered the presence of S. hyacinthoides as invalidat- 
ing Roth’s name. The former binomial, however, cannot possibly 
be construed as conflicting with the name S. hyacinthina.
