No data.
History at Camden Park
Listed in the 1845, 1850 and 1857 catalogues [B.221/1845]. It is probable that this plant, Hippeastrum pulverelento-vittatum and Hippeastrum splendido-vittatum are hybrids raised by Macarthur or Bidwill, although I have found nothing in the notebooks to verify this. All parent plants were introduced to the gardens before 1845. No descriptions have been found.
