Vince sez:
Check out the Jan. 99 Bulletin. Thee were several show results from
last year listed that DID have species win Queen of Show. I saw i.
gracilipes, i. pseudacorus, i. cristata, and i. falva listed. One of
the species exhibitors who won was Clarence Mahan, so I'm presuming
that he would know what is eligible.
