Is it still possible to obtain this plant? I saw it a long time ago and
remember it very fondly, but have been unable to find it anywhere. Does
anyone have any leads. It was a beautiful dark, dark, purple...almost
black as I recall.

Any help would be appreciated.

C. Nigritian was registered in 1945. 'King of Kings' may be a
named clone of it, but it is not listed on Wildcatt as having
been awarded. There are errors in Wildcatt so it is still
possible. It could have been awarded long enough ago that the
record did not get entered. But chances are you are going to
have to try to reconstruct where & who owned the plant you
originally saw.
