This is generally considered as our common species, but all the plants 
which I have examined, and those which have been sent me under this: 
name, all agree in character with the S. Bermudiana, so far at least as to 
have their spathes manifestly shorter than their flowers. 
It is said to be smaller than the preceding species and its flowers to be 
much less conspicuous. 
Grows in dry hills and pastures from Canada to Carolina. Pursh. 
Flowers July — August. Pursh.
