Gladiolus gandavensis, Van Houtte (G. psittacinus x G. cardinalis). Fig. 1645. Upper segms. nearly or quite horizontal or hooded, the colors in bright shades of red and red-yellow, variously streaked and pencilled: late-flowering: spikes long. The commonest old-time type of garden gladiolus with the bloom much like that of G. psittacinus in form and size, but with a purer and better red. F.S. 2:84 (1846). R.H. 1846:141. P.M. 11:27. Gn. 64, p. 252. H.F. 1:208; 2:132. Gt. 59, p. 499 (var. Europa, with pure white fls.)— First offered to the trade by Van Houtte, Aug. 31, 1841. M. Souchet, of Fontainebleau, France, did much to improve the gandavensis type by repeated selections and breeding. By Herbert and some others, gandavensis is considered to be an offspring of G. psittacinus x G. oppositiflorus. Var. citrinus, Hort., is like G. psittacinus, but the color is bright yellow. F.S. 5:539. C. brenchleyensis is one of the gandavensis tribes; light red. G. hollandia is a pink form of this. CH The above text is from the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture.
