Stone Co, MS

First described: 2022
Type: population

New (2022) Stone Co alata 'black' clones — distinguished by near-pure black trap interiors. Off-season phenotype otherwise matches regular alata. 6 photos (single 2022 post).

Standout traits

Almost pure black interior trap — uncommon trait, distinguishes from regular alata forms even out of color season
Off-season (mid-summer) phenotype indistinguishable from regular alata except for the black interior
Mike: 'I don't know of any regular forms that produce black interiors like these'
Same trait should appear in fall when full color expression hits
