Notes |
A number of different double variants of {N. poeticus} have been recorded, but the identity of the original Poeticus 'Plenus' remains unclear. Two variants currently in cultivation are treated as 'Tamar Double White' and 'Spalding Double White'; any other older names not known to be directly related to either of these are referred to Poeticus 'Plenus' |
