Description

» English Description

van Houtte Catalogue, 1843-1844, 12:aaa: Immense white globe, majesti­cally formed. Extra double. Originated by Mr Boddaert, Deinze, Belgium. Verschaffelt, 1851, Nouvelle Iconographie, Book III, pl.I: A very distinct and unusual variety, by the undulation and plurality of the lobes at the edges of its petals, their unequal sizes in those of the secondary rows, their numbers, their smallness, and their compact, ruffled arrangement at the centre. This undulation is noticeable in the sepals of the bud. The beautiful white colouring has a faint yellowish tinge at the centre. Orthographic variants: ‘Montblanc’, ‘Monte Bianco’. Synonym: ‘Mont Blanc’(Boddaert). Orthographic error: ‘Montelanc’.
