Berlèse, 1845, Monographie, ed.3, p.289, No.608: C. ‘Montironi’ or ‘Hélène Longhi’(Italie). Vigorous pyramidal shrub, sparsely branched, leaves 4-5 cm wide, about 9-10 cm long, rounded or oval, rough surface, deeply indented, dark green, bud is oblong with greenish scales; flower is 10-11 cm wide, full, ranunculiform, (formal double) soft white, delicate pink, about 9-10 rows of petals, 4 cm wide x 5 cm long, concave, numerous, converging together, some whole, others slightly emarginate and imbricated throughout. Originated in Italy by Casoretti. For illustration see Verschaffelt, 1850, Nouvelle Iconographie, Book VII, pl.III as ‘Montironi Vera’.
