Title: Cortusa turkestanica
Post by: gote on August 20, 2009, 07:07:04 AM

I have a plant coming from a seed exchange under the name Corthusa turkestanica.
It is about twice as large as the common matthiolii i grow and the leaves are more glabrous and less incised.
Does anyone know something about it. I cannot confirm the name from the books I have available and I intend to send some sed to the exchange.

I've had a plant of this name (as you describe much larger than matthioli) for many years

This species is in the IPNI Plant name database:
