Notes

‘Gauntlettii’ (5C-001) This was labelled ‘Alba Grandiflora’ but is identical to ‘Gauntlettii’ at (3-003) and has now been relabelled.

‘Adolphe Audusson’ (5C-002) was labelled ‘Augusto Leal de Gouveia Pinto’.

‘Campsii Alba’ (5C-003) is the same as 5B-004 but different from 5D-004, which as noted under section 5D notes, seems closer to the Register description. I have been unable to find another name for this form, which seems to have been in cultivation in Cornwall under this name for many years. It may be that there are two varieties bearing the same name.

‘Dona Jane Andresen’ (5C-006 & 5C-007), is the correct rendering of this name. Whether it is the correct identity of the two plants is another matter, they do not match the Register description or pictures. I suspect they may be ‘Julia Drayton’.

‘Fanny’ (5C-008) is a sasanqua, in spite of the label saying japonica.

‘Madame de Cannart d’Hamale’ (5C-017) is described in the register as an even pale pink with white margin and centre band of light salmon pink. This has no white margin and a central white stripe. It appears to be the same as ‘Myrtifolia’ at 4D-021, a variety which arose as a sport of ‘Madame de Cannart d’Hamale’ and should be deep pink to red. Presumably it has reverted to its parent’s form, but again it has no white margin and the centre stripe is white.

‘Perfecta’ (5C-023 & 5C-024) appear to be plants of a variety raised by Les Jury and sent, un-named, to a nursery in the UK for trialling. It was named ‘Perfecta’, invalidly both because there was already a variety of the same name and also because “latinised” cultivar names are not allowed. It is now listed in the Register as ‘Perfecta’ (Jury) and is a williamsii hybrid.

‘Rafia’ (5C-028) is supposed to be cherry red, but that may be a fanciful nursery description. It is also supposed to be a sport of ‘Princess Bacciochi’, with which I have compared it, and which it doesn’t convincingly appear to be.

‘Visconti Nova’ (5C-029) should be a deep red formal double splotched and streaked white. This is wrong but I don’t know what it actually is.
