This was an Australian sport of 'Cécile Brunner' and seems to have been the same as what we know today as 'Spray Cecile Brunner'. Refer Members Comment 35-467.
Known for many years incorrectly as 'Bloomfield Abundance'. It is now known as ‘Spray Cecile Brunner’. Refer 2004 reference.

DNA analysis by Florida Southern College establishes that 'Spray Cécile Brunner' is virtually identical to both 'Cécile Brunner' and 'Cl.Cécile Brunner,' suggesting that 'Spray Cécile Brunner' is a sport of the group.
