This species, which on account of its 5 styles has been proposed as a 
distinct genus, appears too nearly allied to the preceeding to be separated 
from it. In it's general habit and appearance it closely resembles the S. 
Virginica, its flowers however are rather larger, and of a cream colour ra- 
ther than white. 
Grows in the mountains of Carolina and Georgia. 
Flowers May— July.
