I was told it was an old rose variety.

There's a Kashmir Tree Mallow (lavatera family) and also a Kasmirian Sage. But probably lots of others too.

There are several plants that have Kashmirianus in their name, it just means 'coming from Kashmere'.

Thanks Sorcha. I have the lyrics - what I want is a description (or picture) of the flower.

Artist: Steeleye Span
Song: Cadgwith Anthem
Album:
[" " CD]

Come fill up your glasses and let us be merry,
For to rob bags of plunder it is our intent.

Chorus
As we roam through the valleys
Where the lilies and the roses
And the beauty of Kashmir lay drooping his head
Then away, then away
To the caves in yonder mountain
Where the robbers retreat

Hush, hush in the distance there's footsteps approaching
Stand, stand and deliver it is our watch cry.

Are there any Catters out there that might know the answer to this question please?:

The chorus for Cadgwith goes:
"As we rove through the valley,
Where the lilly and the roses,
and the beauty of Cadgwith lay drooping its head ..."

I've been told that the Beauty of Cadgwith is a wild flower but I can't find any reference to it online. I'd love to see what it looks like and for any information available please.
