basin. Stem, long and thin in a shallow cavity, which 

 is faintly russet. Growth, vigorous, rather upright ; 

 fertile. Leaf, rather large, greyish-green, nearly flat, 

 curved serrate. Origin, said to have been raised about 

 1800. Rather too soft for market use and hardly 

 worth retention.
