The seed came from from Beuron, a tetraploid, that was grown from
Colchicine-treated seed. Seed was obtained from SIGNA.
There is one
other registered tetraploid pseudacorus, BARANEC, which is
a seedling of
Beuron.
I have another suspected tetrraploid pseudacorus here but it is
not
confirmed. It was collected by Allan McMurtrie in Turkey. It wouldn't
set seed with other pseudacorus plants.
Even without knowing all
this, it's size is a give away. I have grown
several hundred pseudacorus
seedlings. This one is a number of degrees
larger in all aspects then any
other pseudacorus I have grown. Even
much larger then the other tet I
have, which is much larger then all
the others , except this one.
I
have a number of reselect pseudacorus seedlings I could post if
anyone was
interested. White with purple veins. A very white one,
several with
different eyes, several doubles, a number of cream ones,
an interesting
tiered one that has a pyramid shape when in bloom with
all blossoms above
foliage, some with almost no eyes, and a reblooming
cream one. etc.,
etc.
