TOKIO (Origin unknown) - Jap. - Pink - Midseason. Introduced by Dessert, 1910. Tall. Bitter medicinal odor. Large, cupped, waving guard-petals of dull rose-pink; center composed of large, loose staminodes, narrow at the base with wide tips tinted pale yellow and stained pink on the upper half, with buff edges; carpels green, white at base, with pale pink tips. Vigorous; fairly floriferous; strong, stiff stems. Dark broad foliage. An excellent variety, very similar to, but undoubtedly inferior to Tamate-Boku, from which it is distinguished by taller growth, slightly color, and pinkish carpels. M.
