The 1989 edition of the Checklist (the 2nd edition) contains the information "...Possible 40 chrom..."  This bit of data was not in the original Registration information.  It was probably added by Howard Brookings.

Roy works from the AIS R & I's (or from additional info that has been added to a Sib. cultivar from the registrant).  I just looked up the 1972 Registration and also the SIGNA Checklist as well as the SIberian cumulative checklist. I will try to research the last few Sib. checklists and see when the "possible 40 c. " was added to the description. Or someone else will do it, please. I am trying to get the Fall TSI mailed by Oct. 20th so I can take a trip the first two weeks in November.

I have not seen the entry in the Siberian checklist
but I do not know where the 40 chromosome part would
have come from. I don't believe Jean ever thought of
it as a Hybrid and not a pure species either and it
originated with her. I wonder if another plant has
gotton mixed with this in Roy's Garden since I can't
imagine he would add that comment looking at the plant
I used to have.
