Kortmann (1998)
'Whitleyi Major' (Lactiflora) ('The Bride') (1776 / Whitley, 1808) Bloemen wit tot crèmewit, enkel, middelvroeg tot laat; meeldraden oranjegeel, bladeren dof donkergroen; hoogte 85 cm; bloemstengels matig tot goed stevig; vertakking matig tot goed. Een goede witte, enkelbloemige cultivar, ondanks dat deze iets Botrytis gevoelig is. Een waardering met één ster leek door de vele positieve eigenschappen gerechtvaardigd.
