Fittonia verschaffeltii 'Angel Snow' (8/01) |

veined white but also sectored white near the margins. The
margination is not continuous but is
lc: variable, covering perhaps 20-40% of the margin at best.

lc: veined true rich red,
non-fading, colored up to 55% in some blades.
lm: blade is arched nicely and is slightly undulate for a nice
effect.
lt: blades and stems are very thick, suggesting polyploidy perhaps.
eval: this is one of the most impressive red cultivars introduced. It is head
and shoulders above old "red vein" types for its thick, durable foliage and
stunning colors.

Fittonia verschaffeltii 'Argyroneura' (var. argyroneura) |

ha:
compact, miniature

ns: this may just be a convenient trade name for the older

these taxa differ.
Fittonia verschaffeltii 'Minor Variegata' = 'Angel Snow'? |
ns:
according to Glasshouse Works (online catalog 2001) this is
marketed as 'Angel Snow'. Not having

so:

lt: blades are thick much like the original red 'Anne'.

good "vein arch" which means the
