| notes: | Origin, Tidenham Chase, W. Glos. where it grows with both parents, the hybrid being appropriately more abundant than V. lactea, Sm. I have had the plant in cultivation for three or four years, and although cliestogamous flowers are produced in abundance no capsule has ever been produced - W. A. Shoolbred. A good intermediate, which I saw last year growing with the parents - E. S. M. At first sight this hybrid is unconvincing; but on examination one realizes that the characters of Iactea and Riviniana are about equally blended - E. S. Gregory. |
