Hi,

I think, it isn't possible to determine the species. Sure, this is not S. festivum, S. aureum or S. panamense.
But in the S.-rostratum-species-group, you need detailed information about the origin; without you can't be sure. Instead of S. barbartum it possibly could be S. robustum. This species is imported more frequently - at least in Germany...

Martin.
