Cartaret Co, NC

First described
2021
Type
population

A Cartaret Co flava population with suspected rubra introgression (narrow tubes, broad necks, distinctive venation per kiwiearl). Companion maximas in same population NEVER produce red veins. 7 photos (2021).

Standout traits

  • Suspected rubra introgression — narrow tubes, straight up/down (not flared), broad neck, minimal height, pronounced ala, distinctive venation (per kiwiearl analysis)
  • Cartaret maximas in this population NEVER produce red veins (even under stress) — uncommon among Carolina maximas
  • Some clones look 'almost like Goldie'
  • Wide-lid clone with great shape
  • Underrepresented online despite long cultivation
  • Maximas + flava-flavas in this population have similar shape (introgression-consistent)

Naming

Standard locality designation. Mike (2021): suspected rubra introgression a few generations back — the introgression may be localized rather than county-wide (kiwiearl has Cartaret Co plants without similar traits).
