| notes: | In the process of drying the beautiful sky blue colour has disappeared, and there fore these specimens may be of little value. The variety is frequent growing in patches amongst the type. -Ida M. Roper. There is an interesting paper in Journ. Bot 1xii, 265(1924) by Prof E J Salisbury, giving reasons for regarding this plant as a good variety and not merely a colour-form. - H W Pugsley. Var caerulea seems to be a good variety. Like Dr Salisbury (J. Bot. 1924 p265)I have never seen any intermediates between var caerulea and var genuina Salis., such as are so common between the pink or purple-flowered form of exposed situations(var purpurea DC) and the white-flowered genuina. The restricted distribution of var caerulea seems also to be in accordance with its staus as a genetically distinct variety.- E Drabble. Plants of var caerulea DC in my herbarium gathered near Tonbridge, Kent in 1879(Gard. Chron. Apr.23 1881,539) still retain distinct evidence of strong blue colour. Var purpurea DC gathered in 1924 and 1927 at Lurgahall W. Sussex (J E L) retains its rose-purple colour. Var purpurea DC Lansdowne, W Glos. 1923 ( H S Thompson) lost it in three out of four flowers -J E Little NO SPECIMEN The specimens to which these labels were affixed, were discarded as badly damaged by invertebrate pests. |
