It is smaller in all ways than the more common L. radiata radiata and more important is fertile and produces viable seed. I recall some comment on Bill's L. longituba. And some doubts. The picture could be L. longituba which is highly variable. Although most people see the typical longituba, the yellow variant (ssp flava) has numerous inter-grades from pure white to various shades of palest yellow a nice primrose yellow. This looks like one of those inbetweeners. It is highly fertile and produces a range of seedlings. -- Dr. James W. Waddick 8871 NW Brostrom Rd.
