I do not recollect ever seeing a white-flowered Titanopsis before. What are its origins Ralph?

I bought it from "Industrial Agaves" on eBay, and although some of their plants came with locality data, this one didn't.

I grew the white-flowered T. primosii from Mesa Garden seed many years ago - alas! I no longer have it.

Also Mesa Garden is not offering it currently in their quite limiting list.
No Titanopsis at all, even...

Mesa list 2003

1875-primosii ex pure white flowering plants

So there is no locality data.

Thanks for the info about the origins of this form. I suspect that it is something that has been selected in a greenhouse, so habitat data probably doesn't apply.

I sowed a batch of Titanopsis primosii ex Storms (Mesa Garden 1874.9) in october 2016. One plant is flowering white these days.
