The above mentioned plant has been formally described, and is known as:
_P. caerulea var. leucantha_ (if my memory serves me correctly......)
I found a similar plant and Ron Gagliardo was kind enough to send me a copy
of the article that described the plant. Unfortunately, the article is two
hours away at my parent's house at the moment, so therefore I can not confirm
my spelling etc.
