Sweet, 1830, Hortus Britannicus, p.74: Single. Rosy and white. Hibbert & Buist, 1832, The American Flower Garden Directory, p.79: A single flower with a pink ground and white streaks...not as large as many of the single ones. Paxton, 1838, Magazine of Botany, vol.4, p.71: Mr Low of Clapton, has a good plant of Bicolor which is new, and although perhaps not quite so good as ‘Donckelaeri’ (Masayoshi), yet deserves a place in every collection. Originated in England.
