Modern Roses 12 shows the second word spelled Oktavia for the registered name. Which is correct ?

I don't know, but I have just done a physical check of every issue of Modern Roses (I don't have No. 11) and they all, from Modern Roses 1 to 10 showed 'Fraulein Octavia Hesse'.
2007 Modern Roses 12, page 170 showed 'Fraulein Oktavia Hesse'.
