Derrick Posted December 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2015 Good spotting Aurelien. I think that I have mixed in one of the stunted and drought stressed M. platytyrea by accident. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aurélien Posted December 11, 2015 Report Share Posted December 11, 2015 Good spotting Aurelien. I think that I have mixed in one of the stunted and drought stressed M. platytyrea by accident. Interesting! This M. platytyrea has a strange flat form, with large tuber and inexistant stem. It's really different from the pictures your made of the othe population of M. platytyrea, which show more typical plants with long "echinate" stem...

Andreas Wistuba Posted December 14, 2015 Report Share Posted December 14, 2015 Good spotting Aurelien. I think that I have mixed in one of the stunted and drought stressed M. platytyrea by accident. From what I saw in the wild, they can endure a lot of drought. Maybe the best reason to have tubers for many species - just as a water reservoir. All the best Andreas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
