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.

Lophospermum ‘Hendersonii’

Unidentified species or variety but possibly a form of Maurandya barclaiana Lindl. which see.  There are many colour forms of this plant.  

Horticultural & Botanical History

Probably named for Henderson of Henderson’s Nursery, Pine-apple Place, and originating in this nursery but I have found no references to this plant.

History at Camden Park

Seed order to Hurst and McMullen, Seedsmen and Florists of London, on 8th April 1846.  [MP A2933-1, p.132].
