Seedling from 'Louise Odier' (see Florist and Pomologist, 1868, p. 251).

The J. Sieckmann catalog of 1886 has it as coming from Pradel, 1865, which is not out of the question, as Pradel was indeed releasing a series of Bourbons in those years; and so, if not established sufficiently enough to warrant a change in attribution, this is at least worthy of a footnote.
