Paeonia decora alba of Saunders

type: [herbaceous peony] – [species cultivar] – [historical cultivar of uncertain origin]

There must be a difference between the plants called 'P. decora Anderson' in the pre-sternian classifications and the 'Decora Alba' used by A.P.Saunders during this time for his hybridizations. My opinion: It must be P. hellenica or P. clusii
