While talking with John Nieuwesteeg in November 2008, he told me that 'Helga Brichet' was a OP seedling. I.e. he does not know the origin of pollen. He was irritated by the fact that the parentage complicata x complicata was given. I am changing the parentage in consequence.
Sorry no reference but this chat. [JJ]
