Magazine (24 May 1890) Page(s) 604. Some New Garden Plants. Pæonia Moutan, Beatrice Kelway. The flowers of this variety are single with a few pure white elegantly crimped petals. The pistil is purple, forming a curious conical undivided mass in the centre, instead of being divided into a number of follicles or carpels as is usually the case in the Pæony. In this character it more resembles a Poppy than a member of the Ranunculus family. The filaments are white, with yellow anthers. Cut flowers were shown at the Drill Hall, on the 13th inst. by Messrs. Kelway & Son, who received an Award of Merit for it.
