Hi Barry,
It's nice to hear from you on the list.
I have doubts about _S.rosea_. However, I must say that from seeing
this plants in the wild and cultivating them for several years they are
easily more different from all other sub-groups of S.purpurea. Also,
_S.purpurea venosa_ and _S. purpurea purpurea_ are less different from each
other than are _S.purpurea venosa_ and _S.purpurea venosa var. burkei_ which
I have mentioned in the past. This has had me concerned for the past couple
years.
Of course, _S.rosea_, doesn't appear to me to be a separate species from
_S. purpurea purpurea_. I feel the original split between _S.purpurea
purpurea_ and _S. purpurea venosa_ was made erroneously and the whole
species needs to be revisited.
