Polygala dalmaisiana, Hort. (P. myrtifolia var. Dalmaiaiana, Hort.), also often wrongly offered in the trade as P. dalmacina and P. dalmatiana. It resembles P. myrtifolia var. grandiflora very closely : lvs. rather tending to be alternate, sessile, rather glaucous as in P. myrtifolia: fls. in terminal racemes, rather large, purple or rosy magenta with the base of the keel whitened or almost white. R.H. 1844:193. Gt. 5:161. R.B. 25: 145. G.W. 8, p. 316. P.Dalmaisiana is said to be a hybrid P. myrtifolia var. grandiflora (P. grandiflora) crossed by P. oppositifolia var. cordata (P. cordifolia). The pictures show some slight verification of this, but many authorities treat the plant as a variety of P. myrtifolia; this species and its varieties are very commonly cult, in Calif., particularly the one known in gardens as P. dalmacina or P. dalmatiana; this flowers all the time and is very popular. The popularity of P. Dalmaisiana in Calif, is an example of the persistence of a good thing in gardens, though almost unknown to botanists. The spelling dalmatiana shows that some gardeners have thought the name a geographical one. The plant was named after M. Dalmais, a French gardener, who raised it from seed in 1839. As known in the trade, P. Dalmaisiana is a free-blooming plant with rosy or purplish fis. It goes under three or four names. It makes a good pot-plant, but is somewhat bare of foliage. It blooms from the ends of the ripened growth. It can be had in flower almost any time. The odd color and shape of the fls., and its free blooming, make it very attractive. It roots only fairly well from cuttings. Usually it propagates better by layering. Put in rich loam with well-rotted manure. It will stand considerable frost.
