Re: RE: pallida and variegata distribution

This is great.  I've never taken the time to sit down and plot points.  One point I had never looked up is Mostar, and it is very interesting to see how far it is from the main body of cengialtii.  It makes one wonder if the 'Mostar' cultivar we grow now is really the original, or if the seed it came from was really from there, since the plant we grow looks like a good cengialtii.  It could well be that cengialtii is simply a higher elevation expression that is wide spread, but the gap is large, and the fact that more typical pallida appears to occupy the intervening territory, it leaves a lot of doubt, and a it would be good to see a lot more field collected material.
