Etymology
The species is named intāminātum "undefiled",[1] from the stem of contāmen (= -tagmen) "pollution", from tangō "I touch",[2] because of the unmarked petals.
Description
Leaves are almost round and dark green variegated with silver.
Flowers are white to light pink, with no spot of darker color on the nose as in many other cyclamens.
