Re: [SANS] S.arborescens

Hi Group,

What's the difference between S. arborescens and S. bagamoyensis?

I've got what I believe to be arborescens growing in a crowded  8" pot
(about 5 stems) relegated to a distant corner of the greenhouse where it
can't hurt me. I haven't noticed any particular sensitivity to cold, nor have
I had any flowers.  It is a vigorous grower, but I have to keep propping the
stems up to keep them from falling over.  I suppose that doesn't happen in
the wild, but we do the best we can in captivity.

I also have a plant I bought (for a lot of money) at Grigsby's a couple of
years ago labeled "S. powellii FC Lavranos 24534 (Somalia)".  I have serious
doubts about this identity, since powelli, I believe, ought to resemble
arborescens, and this plant looks like a tall, fat pinguicula.

Any observations from the experts?

BTW, I'm oposed to starting a second list for amateurs.  This forum is big
enough for all of us, and I think we can ALL learn something from each other.
IMHO.

Curiously,
Kirk
