Hi Ingrid:
From my files:
P. trifidum (Jacq. 1797), flower cream with reddishpurple veins, section
Ligularia, 20-45 cm, origin: Karroo, SE Cape Province, strong scented
leaf (rotting fish), flowers from september to january in SA.
Must have it standing around somewhere in the garden in a pot but did
not find it right now <g> - like you I have too many plants to look
after, check up and move inside allthough it is still OK weather here in
Holland tho a bit rainy so have some time left. A hint - Idnida could
refer to the finding location in SA - perhaps you can find it on a good
SA-map?
