| notes: | This - like the Tidenham Chase violet by Mr W.A. Shoolbred - appears to be a sterile hybrid. ESG. Note the subulate stipules and lobed calycine appendages, indicative of riviniana parentage. The small rounded lowest leaves and slender peduncles point to the joint parentage of V. lactea. A prevailing form in Cornwall. E.S. Gregory Nov. 21, 1924. |
