Auricula x P. hirsuta are included under the name P. pubescens; here may be referred the variants represented by the names P. helvetica, Don, P. rhaetica, Gaud., P. Ardotis, Kerner, P. Goeblii, Kerner, P. Kerneri, Goebl. & Stein, P. Peyritschii, Stein, all probably differing in minor characters and garden value. P. pubescens is a hardy plant, according to Paul, and easy to grow in both sun and shade, if it has a well-drained place: 3-4 in.: fls. rosy crimson with white eye; May, June. P. pubescens alba equals P. hirsuta var. nivea (No. 41), a very free-flowering plant, with large snow-white fls. which make an excellent display against the rosettes of stiffish lvs. |
