I don't know what article you are talking about. I posted one and I will post it again here but it says the mineira type has alternating pbulbs that have a grey green leaf with a red stripe down the middle of the leaf. It doesn't say var mineira has two leaves. The difference between the two is the growth habit, the color of the leaves, flower color, flower size, and flower count. They also come from two different regions. Var mineira inland and the other along the coast.
If you haven't read this article it is interesting!
Difference between S. cernua and S. cernua var mineira
I'm sure there are plenty of plants out there that are a mixture of the two types. Like the article says not even the judges knew of the mineira variety. But even if a plant has both varieties in its background doesn't make it a hybrid. It is still a Sophronitis cernua species.
