Dear Brian and Friends,

Nice link, thanks Brian!
Cyrtosperma chamissonis is one (there are several others!) of the many 'old' names for Cyrtosperma merkusii.
Dr. Sue Thompson wrote a really informative paper (1982) about this plant in Micronesia under this older name.

Good Growing,

Julius

Here is a link of what maybe Merkusii but it is listed as chamissonls I am not sure if this is another large species in the group in most cases I have seen it usually is Merkusii. I did have a great link to island page with a young woman in front of a huge patch of Merkusii that were around 20 feet tall. Huge plants with massive leaves. It seems this site is no longer up. This was the closest I have seen to it.
