I grew this from seed labeled S. leporella. There is very little information on this species, but one of the very few sources I could find says it is synonymous with S. lanceolata, which is less obscure. Two of last year's seedlings survived. When one of them bloomed, I assumed I was just looking at a popping bud stage, and returned for the real show a few days later - but there was no "real show": the flowers are understated, a small hood of brownish red. The serrated lance-shaped leaves are serviceable, but don't offer a strong incentive to grow this plant for ornamental value either. So this may not be a keeper, although as always I'm glad to have given it a try.
