Description

» English Description

Herbert 1837, Amaryllidaceae & Supplement, p.367: Very large and very double, white with a few pink stripes; occasionally one or two anthers. Originated by Rev. Herbert, England by crossing the single white with pollen of Pompone. He gives ‘Fort’una’ as a syn­onym. Van Houtte 1851-1852, lists Fortuita as a synonym of Carswelliana Alba, which, also according to van Houtte, 1843-1844 is a synonym of Tumida. However as Tumida is reported as being originated by Gruneberg, this synonymity is rejected. Synonyms: ‘Fortune Herbert’, ‘Fort’una’. Orthographic errors: ‘Fortuite’, ‘Fortinta’.
