Description
N. hispanicus var. propinquus
13Y-Y
[Species]
(Introduced by 1810)
The larger, upper flower of t.1301 in Botanical Magazine (1810) effectively represents the recurving trumpet rim gashed into six deep lobes. The perianth segments tend to be less overlapping, and more slender and incurving than in N. hispanicus; the trumpet narrower and more chiselled, and the rim of each lobe only slightly ruffled due to two or three prominent ridges. The flower is spun from paler gold, verging on shades of mimosa-yellow. Below average height here, and flowering about mid-season.
