Our large stand of chloropetalum ranges from very white to rich purple. 
It is next to a stand of T. albidum which is all white. They are almost 
identical except for the anther filaments: white in albidum and pink to 
purple in chloropetalum

I am looking for as many as possible of the western species and numerous populations of each if possible --- i do not want living plants though. This may help to clarify the nomenclature some.
