See also pl.105, The Floral Magazine, 1862, vol.2. Orthographic errors: ‘Lavinia Moggi’, ‘La Vina Maggi’, ‘Lavinia Maggie’, ‘Contessa Lawinia Maggi’, ‘Lavina Maggi’, ‘Lafina Maggi’, ‘Livinia Maggi’, ‘Lavinia Maggie’, La Vinia Maggi’, ‘Contessa Livinia Maggi’. Synonym: ‘Contessa Lavinia Maggi’. ‘Lavinia Maggi Imbricated’. Sports: Roi des Belges, Lavinia Maggi Rosea, Lavinia Maggi Rouge, Lavinia Maggi Alba. Originated in Italy by Onofrio Maggi and distributed by Lechi, Brescia. Received a RHS., F.C.C. in 1862 as ‘Contessa Lavinia Maggi’. Chinese synonym ‘Kenmaji’, as ‘Contessa Lavinia Maggi’. Note: It is apparent that many of the plants still in existence, also published photographs, have a pale pink background instead of the original description of pure white. Moreover, the same plant can produce temporary sports: red, harlequin, spotted (see illustrations). Stable sports are 'Roi des Belges' (red) and 'Lavinia Maggi Alba' (pure white). This cultivar was awarded as an AGM (Award of Garden Merit) plant by the Royal Horticultural Society in 1993 at H5 rate (hardy: cold winter; -15°C to -10°C).
