The "real' stoloniferous T. clusiana
penstemon (Mon, 30 Mar 2015 10:57:42 PDT)

Yes, you did. You said “No such thing as Tulipa clusiana var. clusiana or
Tulipa clusiana f. clusiana exists in nature.”

This contradicts what is said in the Kew monograph. A taxon found in Iran,
Afghanistan, and Pakistan can scarcely be the same genetically-identical
plant, reproducing by means other than seed. (Still not a "clone", by the
way.)

"The old pentaploid clone". That a plant does not behave in climates
dissimilar to the way it would in a climate in which it evolved is not a
basis for creating a distinction.
It seeds here. As I said earlier.
