Okay, I realised as soon as I typed that bit out that I was painting a
fairly large target onto my back! AFAIK the only reference I have ever
seen in print to this name was in a trading list produced by Martin in
the early 1990's. The name is certainly in common use at least here in
the UK but again I agree this is not grounds for accepting it as a
cultivar.

I never intended to imply such.
