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.
