M. 'Branklyn' (George Sherriff Group)
Ambiguous. A number of very different plants were submitted under this name to The Meconopsis Group naming trial. ‘Branklyn’ is known to be a round-petalled George Sherriff Group clone and this immediately ruled out many of the purported plants of ‘Branklyn’ submitted to the trial. Which, if any, of the plants still being grown under this name is the correct clone is yet uncertain although plants bought many years ago from Inshriach Nursery as M. ‘Branklyn’ which have been maintained in cultivation in N. Ireland appear to have a good provenance.

The 1963 FCC award was made to a seed raised plant purchased from Jack Drake’s Inshriach Nursery which was then given the name M. grandis 'Branklyn'. The name was incorrectly ICRA registered as M. × sheldonii 'Branklyn' pre-2002.
