Re: Raphidophora cryptantha infloresence .

This is a question that I have as well. I was told recently that the inflorescences are under the leaves. The plant that I have that may possibly be R. cryptantha has small inflorescences that project out well away from the leaves. Is this another species, similar to R. cryptantha or the same plant?

 

Grins,

Has anyone seen the infl. on this sp. ? and taken a picture .
I remember Brian Williams talking about it , I must try and get a picture of it .
>From my bromeliad knowledge , Cryptanthus derived its name from the supposed hidden flowers .
They are not that well hidden , as I saw some today .
I have peered under the leaves of this sp. and never seen much but roots .
