Title: Coincya
I think I may be about to make a drastic mistake. I aquired some seed from an association seed exchange, sowed it, potted on the seedlings, and generally pampered them for their appearance in a plant sale taking place next week. Try as I could, I could find no reference to this Coincya I have been tending so well. Until this evening when I checked it out in an internet search. I only know my plant as plain Cioncya but found C.rouy and C.monensis both in a noxious weed file. Although these plants had all this attention, I always felt a bit suspicious of their strong resemblance to hairy bitter cress , in fact, it could be an HBC big brother. So, what do I do, wait to see if anyone can allay my fears and tell me it is a very lovely benign relative,play safe and burn it, or give it the benefit of the doubt and let it loose into the unsuspecting Irish gardenscape.
I await your decision.
Tim, I can send you seeds, I know you were disappointed with the Weinmannia!
