Notice

Colin Mills, compiler of the Hortus Camdenensis, died in late November 2012 after a short illness. As he always considered the Hortus his legacy, it is his family's intention to keep the site running in perpetuity. It will not, however, be updated in the near future.

Alstroemeria ornata [Macarthur]

Unidentified Alstroemeria species.

I have been unable to identify this plant.  Possibly a nursery name for a variant of one of the popular species of the day.

Listed only in the 1843 catalogue.  Possibly identified and renamed in a subsequent edition.
