Salver Shaped

This unassuming pretty flower has a salver-shaped corolla; but in modelling it, I advise its being formed of five petals. ❋ Emma Peachey (N/A)

The salver-shaped corolla, which is white, pleasingly tinted with red, has a short tube and five divisions, curiously cornered; the flower is fully ¾in. across, and in its unopened state is hardly less pretty than when blown. ❋ John Wood (N/A)

The flowers, which are ¾in. across, are salver-shaped, pure white, excepting for a day or two when newly opened, then they are stained with ❋ John Wood (N/A)

Stafford near Dunrobin Castle in Sutherlandshire, in which the usual ringent form of the corolla was replaced by the form called salver-shaped. ❋ Maxwell T. Masters (N/A)

The plant continues in blossom from June till the first frosts wither the leaves; it is far less coarse than the potatoe; the flower, when full blown, is about the size of a half crown, and quite flat; I think it is what you call salver-shaped: it delights in light loamy soil, growing on the upturned roots of fallen trees, where the ground is inclined to be sandy. ❋ Catharine Parr Strickland Traill (1850)
