Bruanti But after the continual appreciation of the blood of B. semperflorens had been universally acknowledged, excellent breeders of this plant made themselves felt, and endeavored to produce new hybrid forms, for which B. Schmidtiana was the rule. This species also originates from Brazil and is introduced by the company Haage & Schmidt is also known as a thankfully blossoming plant, whose leaves are oblong heart-shaped, brown green, on the back red on underside strongly hairy. The flowers are white and have a bright pink color. The pretty architecture and the richness of the flowers made this variety particularly suitable for crossbreeding. It is from this that the well-known B. florida incomparabilis, was developed by Haage & Schmidt, has been brought up with Ed. Andre, as B. pictaviensis, and B. Bruanti, which was propagated by Bruant. The B. massiliensis, sold at the same time by Deleuil, also descended from them.
