Notes on 1G

Because of the size of this section I have split it over two web pages.

‘Mathotiana Rubra’ is a synonym for ‘Mathotiana’ (1G-069)

‘Paul Jones Supreme’ (1G-062) was long labelled ‘Lady Vansittart Blush’ but was producing flowers of a variety of colours, mostly white with pink stripes, leading me to think it had reverted to ‘Lady Vansittart’. When I eventually focussed on its foliage it was immediately obvious it was not any of the ‘Lady Vansittart’ tribe.

‘Pearl Maxwell’ (1G-086 & 1G-087) is not a success here. The foliage is coarse and the flowers very prone to balling.

‘Pink Champagne’ (1G-088) is a japonica variety, not x williamsii.

‘Polar Ice’ (1G-090) was labelled ‘Pink Icicle’ but is pure white and now corrected.

‘Simon Bolitho’ (1G-104) is a UK variety, being a seedling from Trengwainton, Cornwall.

‘Tricolor Nova’ (1G-135) shares its planting hole with ‘La Pace Rubra’, (1G-057)

‘Wirlinga Ruffles’ (1G-117) is an Australian raised variety.

‘Yukimiguruma’ (1G-076) was labelled ‘Tinker Bell’, which was clearly wrong. It was then relabelled ‘Devonia’, which is what it had in the past been marked on the maps as and which this variety is often known as. It is in fact ‘Yukimiguruma’ and that is what it is now labelled as. Elsewhere in the collection it has also been labelled as ‘Alba Simplex’ and ‘Amabilis’.
