From AIS Bulletin #16, July 1962. Introducing ASTRALITE (Chivalry X Cook 1155: Progenitor x blue pumila), IB, 21" $10.00. Clean white self with texture veining, ruffled horizontal falls, standards upright, heavy substance; a real beauty. No pollen, sets pods. This is an entirely new line of intermediates combining the species I. reichenbachii and pumila with talls, the plants having a cushion-type growth like a taller lilliput. Very fragrant. Earl Roberts.
