Horticultural & Botanical History
‘The suspicion was that Hermione Bazelman major and minor, Cypri, flexiflora, and Trewiana, and the four-flowered N. biflorus of the Hort. Soc. [were a hybrid between] Hermione and N. poeticus; and the result of experiments enables me to assert that [...] I entertain no doubt [that this is correct]. Bazelman minor evidently derives the orange margin of its cup from N. poeticus.’ William Herbert. [BR f.38/1843].
