Hans,

Originally the seeds came from John Lavranos in 1993 as "?Daubenya". My
notes have the locality as "Bo Visrivier, Sutherland" and I have seen other
renditions of this place name over the years. The seeds are notably large
(3mm diam.). D. aurea also occurs in this same area.

Thank you for the encouraging update on viability of "old" seeds!
