Exacum named White Rosette

Abstract

A new and distinct variety of Exacum plant characterized by double flowers, with the normal 5 anthers transformed into a rosette of petals in the center of the flower, floriferousness, blooming habits and the sterility of the flower. Plants can be propagated by asexual processes true to type. Rooting ability of the variety is excellent. The semidouble flower differs from that of the other known cultivars.
