(C.japonica), van Houtte Catalogue, 1841, 7:4, erroneously as a synonym for

Coquettii, then his 1842-1843 Catalogue, 9:53 described it as: Red formed like the double

white; white band longitudinally down each petal from the centre to the circumference.

Berlèse, 1843, Iconographie, pl.254: The flower, about 9 cm or more across when fully open,

is double, round, of carmine red with rays of white. The petals are not numerous, about as

wide as long, rounded at the apex, indented, channelled and tranversed lengthways by a white

band. The centre is composed of a few unequal petals and small, incompletely developed ones

with marks of white. This variety originated as a seedling in France by Madame Veuve Mouton,

Nantes. Synonyms: 'Incomparabilis de Nantes', 'Incomparabilis Nova', 'Incomparabilis

Vera de Nantes'.
