Narrative
Early flowering, high coumarin content, inbred line. Plant was about 130 cm, well branched, biennial, but abundantly flowering early in the first year. After selfing, there was morphological uniformity and no recognizable segregation. Collector concluded that a type with natural self-pollination had been picked, perhaps occupying an ecological niche due to its early blooming. This strain then was used as basic material for large scale mutagenesis experiments. High coumarin content.
