Surfed on "halda paeonia" and got this: 'Paeonia by Josef Halda With James Waddick' (http://www.peonies.org/Paeonia.html) Quote Although species of Paeonia are found in the wild throughout the northern Hemisphere, they are mainly associated with Asia and Asian gardens.Josef Halda is one of the few botanists who have travelled to see every known peony species and subspecies in the wild, often in extremely remote areas Josef J. Halda I suspect you might find that plant in his book The Genus Paeonia I have just had a look through my copy of this book and there is no mention of either a Paeony under this name nor Kazakhstan. Nearest name is P. anomala. But it is plausible that the label refers to seed collected in Kazakhstan by J. Halda. Paeonia anomala, at the least, is found in Kazakhstan. I wonder if Ancluvita refers to a location. -- Stewart Robert Hinsley |

Many of the plant labels in the garden had similar details (initials plus number and where from) Some had things such as "seed collected from " in many cases it seemed to be Russia or Kazakhstan so maybe there were expeditions there? It's such an elusive mystery that i will now have to try and solve it for my own satisfaction|  Janet -- Janet Tweedy Dalmatian Telegraph http://www.lancedal.demon.co.uk |

He has written a book on paeonia. -- Regards Bob Hobden W.of London. UK |
