Abstract

A new and distinct variety of Exacum plant characterized by semidouble flowers, floriferousness, blooming habits and the sterility of the flower. The normal stamens are petalloid and arranged incurved as a rosette in the center of the lavender-blue-violet flower. Plants can be propagated by asexual processes true to type. Rooting ability of the variety is excellent. The type of flower differs from that of the other known single cultivars.
