The nearest color in the Wilson Horticultural Chart is aconite violet 937, but even this is not as deep or as blue-black as Black Satin. A self even to the beard. The standards are closely held by the strong midrib; the fails are very flaring and seem dusted with black crystals. Eight flowers on three way branching stalks. H.C., A.I.S. 1949. H.M., A.I.S. 1951. 36 inches. $1.SO.
