There is a fair bit of confusion in the industry because horticultualists do
not consistently use the EH wilson name 'multiplex' for the fully double

Linc Foster documented the discovery and introduction of the fully double
gem with an article in Horticulture ~30 years ago. "The rest of the story"
can also be found in his book "Cuttings from a Rock Garden".
