Baker: „“.. The principal named varieties are vestalis, Andr., Bot. Rep., t. 64; tatarica, Bot. Reg., t. 42; uniflora, Bot, Mag,, t. 1756; Whitleyi, Ker, in Bot. Reg.; t. 630; Andr., Bot, Rep., t. 612; humei = sinensis, Sims, Bot. Mag., t. 1768; and fragrans, Bot., Reg., t. 485. It was called edulis because the roots are sometimes eaten by the Mongolian Tartars.„
The source which Baker gives as reference to var. uniflora (Bot. Mag. t. 1756), does not refer to such a variety.
