Info='Fortunei Freising'.
According to the Köhlein book p. 83: Around 1970 Hermann Müssel created some seedlings of sieboldii 'Alba' to see if they where similar to the mother plant.
From 20 seedlings that flowered, one showed 'Fortunei' background.
The seven best growers were further grown, Nr. 4 the white-flowering 'Fortunei' type and Nr. 2, early and free flowering, a 'sieboldii' type.
Both types were introduced by Klöse in 1977.
The 'Fortunei' type was named 'Freising', the sieboldii type, 'Weihenstephan'.
