Re: [Alpine-l] Silene atigraca

2016-01-25 Thread penstemon 
I am looking for any information on Silene atigraca. It was offered in the AGS 
Seed List 63 2014-2015 as #4702 and is also available commercially from 
Plantworld Seeds. The owner Ray Brown says he got it from one of the seed 
exchanges a few years ago but has no further details. Any information on the 
possible original collection,  publication of the name as a valid species or 
other taxonomic or botanical details would be welcome. Thank you!





I guess you looked at Kew, Tropicos, IPNI, Plantarium, etc., and found nothing. 

A misread label, maybe?

Yes, it's out there on several sites.But IPNI would have listed it if it was 
validly published - unless it's very newly published - and was picked up by the 
trade before IPNI caught it. Jim McKenney
