Orphium frutescens L. var. grandiflora
For a description of the species see Orphium frutescens L. Grandiflora is probably identical to frutescens but may be a form with larger flowers. In Prodromus Stirpium in Horto ad Chapel Allerton vigentium [p.137] Salisbury gives Chironia grandiflora as a synonym of Chironia frutescens L. without further elucidation.
