Gladiolus segetalis Hort.
I have found no record of a plant with the name Gladiolus segetalis dated before 1880. This is possibly an error with Gladiolus segetum Ker-Gawl. intended, although the latter is also listed in the catalogues.
Horticultural & Botanical History
No data.
History at Camden Park
Listed in the 1845, 1850 and 1857 catalogues [B.164/1845]. Probably introduced by John Bidwill. [See Gladiolus cardinalis Curt.].
Notes
Gladiolus segetalis St. Lag. = Gladiolus italicus Mill., synonym Gladiolus segetum (Mill.) Ker-Gawl., although the description is dated 1880.
