Schizanthus pinnatus, Ruiz & Pav. (S. porrigens, Graham. S. Priestii, Paxt.). The most variable of the species, with many horticultural forms distinguished by height of st. and color-markings of the fls. Typically 2 ft. high: lvs. 1-2-pinnatisect; the segms. entire, dentate or incisely pinnatifid: fls. varying in depth of color, the lower lip usually violet or lilac; the upper paler, its middle section with a yellow blotch at its base and spotted with purple or violet.—The plant known horticulturally and in trade-lists as S. grandiflorus, Hort., and variations, undoubtedly belongs here. Var. albus, Hort. (S. grandiflorus albus, Hort.), has fls. slightly larger than the type, white or yellowish. Var. candidissimus, Hort., has pure white fls. Var. compactus, Hort., is a compact form similar to var. nanus, and offered in several forms in the trade. Var. lilacinus, Hort., has lilac fls. Var. nanus, Hort., is dwarfer than the type, offered in several colors in the trade. Var. niveus, Hort., has pure white fls. Var. oculatus, Hort. (S. grandiflorus oculatus, Hort.). has a purplish black blotch surrounded with yellow at the base of the middle segm. of the upper lip or with the typical yellow portion dotted with small dark purple spots. Var. papilionaceus, Hort., has a central coloring somewhat as var. oculatus, with the general color of the fl. marbled in various shades. Var. roseus, Hort., has rose-colored fls. Var. tigridioides, Hort., is also cult. CH
