L.
styraciflua'Variegata'
(syns. 'Aurea', 'Golden'; 'Gold Dust'; 'Goduzam'
(Gammon)
Hilliers Wisley (W962757, W840226 and W853868) |
As L. styraciflua 'Variegata'
from Hilliers and as 'Aurea' from Wisley but all three
plants the same marked with flecks of yellow.
Plants with variegated leaves were described in 1880
as Variegata (leaves speckled light yellow; no completely
green leaves) (Santamour). Grown in North America from
c. 1914. Common. Most specimens encountered date from
c. 1940 (Gammon)
'Aureum' was listed by Scanlon of Ohio in 1966 (leaves
irregularly variegated with gold splashes, streaks and
speckles; in autumn the golden portion of the leaf turns
pink and the green part turns red) was presumed by Santamour
to be the same as 'Variegata' as described by Krussman
in 1962 with leaves marbled yellow and grown in Holland.
'Aurea' of Lake County Nursery (Arnoldia 1976) has
leaves striped and mottled with flecks of gold which
sounds the same as Hilliers description in the Manual
of 'Variegata'. Also same article in Arnoldia lists
'Variegata' with leaves broad, mottled yellow from Scanlon
(see Santamour above)
Arnoldia 1961 mentions aurea as a yellow variegated
form which retains its colour throughout season but
is not uniform
RHS Dictionary lists both 'Aurea' leaves mottled and
striped yellow whereas 'Variegata' has leaves simply
mottled yellow and Adeline also lists both:- 'Aurea
leaves large with 5 lobes fairly rounded with very luminous
yellow colours, pink in autumn and 'Variegata' leaves
spotted fairly irregularly with yellow; red, pink and
yellow in autumn. |
