Pedigree
Description:
Selected from GA-52, RRC 1346, Ames 15274, which was a "mixed row" by C.S. Kauffman during 1986 in a field planting grown from collector's seed by K. Serchen, Nepal Dept. of Ag., in Khumultor, Nepal. As documented in Kauffman's notes filed in Ames, Iowa. In 2016 David Brenner grew a side-by-side planting to compare this with Ames 15274; there was no similarity, and therefore they are not duplicates.
