Everyone seems to agree with me that it's a 28-chromosome siberian,
but it's supposed to be open-pollinated I. delavayi, a 40-chromosome
sino-siberian. Not that I see any delavayi influence anyways, but it's
surely not an OP hybrid between the two groups, as all the seeds were
viable and the seedlings set plenty of pods.
It just occurred to me: does SIGNA keep track of such things, to
reduce confusion for someone who receives a clone of an originally
misidentified seed-ex plant, or someone trying to submit offspring to
a later exchange?
