31:28: Red flower of Pomegranate, very bright; petals firm, well rounded, well displayed,
central tuft, well packed. Verschaffelt, 1849, Nouvelle Iconographie, Book VI, pl.II: Its
blossoms, 11 cm diameter, are a bright cherry-red. The numerous petals are large, rounded,
emarginate and regularly imbricated, but this regularity is broken here and there by several
clusters of very small, serried and wrinkled petals, producing an odd effect. Originated by
Davies, Liverpool, England. Orthographic errors: ‘Davesii’, ‘Daveisi’, ‘Dawiesii’, ‘Davisii’,
‘Daviesii’(Davis), ‘Dariesii’, ‘Daviezi’, ‘Daviosi’, ‘Daviesti’, ‘Daviesh’, ‘Daviezii’. See
