I'm with Armin on Simons ssp atticus.Luc, yours with the pjc label may be a hybrid with C veluchensis. There are mountains where this and C sieberi ssp sublimis overlap where there are supposed hybrids. These have flowers often shaped like C veluchensis but with a yellow/ish throat. I cannot recall which mountain this occurs on (?Olympus) but similar plants of this origin have been exhibited at AGS shows.
Well done, Luc. A great piece of detective work. Does this apply to your plant or to mine? Seems strange they suggested more field studies needing doing back in 1966. I wonder if anyone ever went back
I think this subject has been discussed endlessly and I do not think common ground will be found. There are those who like to split them up and those who do not,and I am happy to go with that.
Regarding C. biflorus ssp. punctatus discussion:Does anybody have good pictures of C. alatavicus (i.e.top view to see style and anthers) for comparison?I did not found a good one. It is just to satisfy my interest.
