Achimenes candida

Journal Royal Horticultural Society, 1848

From a foot to a foot and a half high, stems purplish, nearly smooth, with a few scattered spreading hairs near the upper end; leaves about four inches long; flowers about half an inch long, with a yellowish tube, and a white flat oblique limb with a short line of purple dots along the middle of each lobe, except the frontal one, and many more within the tube. Generally three flowers appear together, of which the central ones open first and the side ones some time afterwards.

It requires the same kind of treatment as the other sorts of Achimenes. Being a neat, free-blooming plant, it is worth cultivation on account of its white blossoms, an unusual colour in the genus.
