| notes: | Reference "V. tricolor var. On a steep limestone bank near the river Manifold at Ecton, N. Staffordshire, June 1885. A remarkable variety which I noticed growing in company of Helianthemum vulgare; the colour of the flowers is paler than in V. lutea, and the habit more straggling, otherwise a careless observer might pass it by for V. lutea, but the mode of growth is quite different, this having no filiform underground stem, and in other respects clearly belonging to tricolor rather than lutea - W.H. PURCHAS. "V. confinis, Jord., V. Provostii, Bor. - 'Fl. de l'Quest, p. 43'" - J. Lloyd. |
