A typo ex auctoribus nonnisi colore lacteo (haud distincte albo) recedit. 



I have never met with this form in gardens. Poiteau et Turpin say 

 that the fruits are "dun blanc jaunatre," and "cette espece est rare dans 

 les jardins, probablement parcequ'elle ne produit que tres peu de fleurs 

 et presque point de fruits."

According to a note in Trans. Hort. Soc. iv. 407 (1822), this form has 

 been detected by H. Schott in the Austrian Alps as Jacquin wrote in a 

 letter addressed to the Horticultural Society of London received on 

 February 8, 1820. Endlicher cites var. dulcis "Host." Host, however, 

 in his Fl. Austr. I. 454 (1827) only says: "Inveniuntur in Austria inferiore 

 prope Gutenstein individua fructus dulces ferentia.

This is the oldest garden form of which Clusius (1601) says: "Istius 

 porro Berberis genus, Aschafenburgi ad Moenum quinis supra Franco- 

 furtum miliaribus, inveniri, cujus baccae sive acini granis interioribus
