Description

» English Description

Verschaffelt, 1849, Nouvelle Iconographie, Book XI, pl.II: Received last year from Conte Caraccioli, Florence, Italy, as an unflowered seedling. It flowered the first time this year. The blossom is 11-12 cm across. Its numerous, large petals are convex, rounded-­oblong and emarginate, forming a compact heart at the centre. The colouring is a delicate pink, occasionally relieved by stripes or small spots of cherry-red. Van Houtte Catalogue, 1857, 67:44 erroneously gives it as a synonym for Picta.
