Title: White flowered Hepatica
Post by: Great Moravian on November 19, 2013, 04:13:28 PM

Petals white, anthers purple, belonging to Central European forms.

Petals nearly white, slightly bluish, anthers yellowish-white, stigmata blackish-purple.
A cultivated plant self-seeding truly, which is strange.
Flowers and leaves smaller than in Central European plants.
Incorrectly labelled H. angulosa var. alba. Probably a natural infrageneric taxon
occurring somewhere. I would appreciate if somebody would identify
the plant.

Hepatica angulosa is an old name for Hepatica transsilvanica and it can be found in blue, pink and white.

It is not Hepatica transsilvanica, the leaves belong to Hepatica nobilis alias Hepatica triloba.
