Dear Jeff, I agree, that the likelihood is there that it is in fact this species. However, if you look at my photographs below, I guess you'll agree that this species neither belongs into Hydnophytum, nor into Myrmecodia. At first sight, it looks like a Myrmecodia, but aprt from the the unique inflorescence, tuber lacks the highly organized architecture of Myrmecodia and the inflorescence. One of my thoughts was as well that this in fact shows a species related to Hydnophytum mamberamoense (nomen nudum) but the plants I found were much more compact. I did not see any of the elongated stems as shown on the herbarium sheet. In any case I believe, that the plant shown in my pictures represents a new genus. All the best Andreas

Anthorrhiza chrysacantha Huxley & Jebb - Mt Kaindi - summit - PNG This picture nicely shows the typical branching of this species. The smaller leaves with less prominent lateral veins, the smaller, less undulate leaves and this characteristic branching pattern sets A. chrysacantha apart from the otherwise very similar A. caerulea:

Hello Jeff, I frequently have sporelings in the greenhouse but they never became weedy such as other ferns. I was sowing spores in vitro. No problems. All the best Andreas
