Richard Doutt and lapeirousia enigmata
Rodney Barton (Thu, 24 Jan 2013 10:04:09 PST)
I've grown this from SIGNA seed and donated seed this year. I'm pretty sure what I have is not Anomatheca. The foliage is very similar to the L. jacquinii that I have but quite distinct from the various forms of A. laxa that I have. The Anomatheca have straight upright leaves, where as the two Laperousia's leaves are curved and close to the "ground" with some wavy edges. I don't have any photos to compare to those Jim posted.

Dear PBSers,
Jim Duggan sent me a picture labelled Lapeirousia enigmata. It is at http://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/index.php/…
It has some odd features - White unmarked flowers (or maybe small unclear marks) and purple sexual parts.
Orignal descriptions:
From Richard Doutt's catalog -- Lapeirousia enigmata: Five inches. Flowers are cream
with distinct purple markings.
From Jim Duggan's Nursery, 1998 -- Lapeirousia enigmata: 5-7 inches, white flowers
having red lines in the throat and purple stamens.
Does anyone recognize this? Many thanks.
