Nursery contributed plant descriptions

There has been some considerable discussion the lineage of this plant. It goes something like: "What is this plant?" Described by Berger in 1904 as E. pulchella, we'll go with Myron Kimnach that it's probably a hybrid with one parent as E. amoena or Cremnophila linguafolia. That's clear, right?
