Each o f the petals is about an inch and a h alf in diameter, much
undulated, and recurved a t the edges. When the flowers have been
sometime open, they measure nearly three inches in expansion, and,
although generally of a white colour, y et they are not unfrequently
striped, or spotted with red. The cup, or column of stamina, with pale
coloured filaments, and deep yellow anthers, is the same as in the single
red already described.
With in the last few years, it has been ascertained to produce seed
freely, and several very fine double varieties, with different coloured
flowers, have originated from it.
