Official Flower of SXM

Since "the Gardener" is in Jamaica, does anyone know the Official Flower of SXM. Been thru a bunch of SXM web sites, but can't seem to find an answer. Thought maybe the Flamboyant Tree(but then it's a tree), Hibiscus, Guavaberry bush?

According to this website, which I found via Google, it's the yellow sage:

The Encyclopedia of Flags [zna99] has this text:
'The colors are those of the flag of the Netherlands. The arms show an old courthouse, a bouquet of yellow sage (the national flower), and a silhouette of the monument honoring Dutch-French friendship and the unity of both parts of the island. The orange border symbolizes loyalty to the ruling Dutch house of Oranje-Nassau. The crest is formed by a yellow disc which represents the sun, and a grey silhouette of a pelican in flight. The motto in Latin, "Semper Progrediens" means "Always Progressing".

Is it fair to assume you are referring to the Dutch side of the island? If so, what is the French island flower? Clem
