- Hard to tell size but T. patula much bigger floral bracts that spread a bit more. V. incurva variable, simple or compound infl. (Sent: brom-l@nic.surfnet.nl)
- Add Note (5742): Peter Tristram (2010-06-24) - Walter, Harry, I posted this plant because it seems neither species though I feel closer to patula. The floral image gives the dimensions. I am wondering if similar plants from Knize, sent to Europe, have bloomed recently. I know Renate flowered a similar Knize plant described as aff. patula on Derek's dvd. An aff. or a cv. of? Peter
PS This note was with the image of the floral parts I posted a week ago. (Sent: brom-l@nic.surfnet.nl)
