There was an article in ROOTS several years back (Spring, 1994) that dealt
with the distinctions between CRIMSON KING (Barr, 1893) and ELEANOR
ROOSEVELT (H.P. Sass, 1933) which are apparently often confused with one
another. According to this article, CK displays prominent haft veining, a
lighter area around the beard, and the beard is light in color and tipped
yellow, while ER is only faintly veined on the haft, nearly a self, and has
a light lavender beard that is orange on the upper half. >>
Yes -- and the article includes photos that clearly show significant
differences between these two, but ER is not part of this particular puzzle.
The mystery I'm chasing involves lookalikes that match the article's photo
and description of CRIMSON KING -- as far as it goes. The catch is that it
doesn't include any information about pollen color and I haven't found an
authoritative description anywhere that does.
