    Weihenstephan is a typical, but particularly stout form of E.perraldianum. The flowers are rich yellow formed of tiny brown tipped petals and broad rounded sepals. They face outward from upright spikes whilst the new leaves emerge pale yellow-green coloured with a mosaic of red. Shiny foliage forms weed smothering spreading mats.E. perraldianum grows naturally in mountain Oak and Cedar forests in Northern Algeria and North Africa. It is very similar to E.pinnatum subsp. Colchicum, differing mainly in numbers of leaflets and its notably spiny leaf margins. Subgenus Rhizophyllum

    (E. grandiflorum x E. pinnatum subsp colchicum). This variety is very much along the same lines as its cousin Sulphureum, but a little paler and possibly more refined and even more like a diminutive Totnes Turbo. There is a little more contrast in the flower with paler inner sepals and slight ruddy shading to the tip of each petal. Foliage in Winter tends more towards the pinnatum parent and is largely evergreen. It is later in to flower than Sulphureum, so much so that they barely overlap. It has been in cultivation from before 1934, but has never achieved the popularity of Sulphureum. The young leaves are brownish.

    Epimedium x warleyense ( Ellen Willmott ). E. alpinum x E. pinnatum subsp. colchicum. The upright stems of delicate coppery orange flowers set this hybrid apart from most epimediums. They are held well up above the foliage in a warm orange haze. The leaves are apple green in a mildly spreading clump that is a little less dense than most species. Height 20-40cm in flower. Originally sent from Warley Place, the Garden of Ellen Willmot, to Professor Stearn as E.perraldianum when he was writing his monograph. Subsequently identified and named by Professor Stearn. for any good soil in partial shade. spring.
