Hello all, as requested, I just created a "Beginners Corner". You may ask all questions you don't dare to ask in the more "sophisticated" sub-forums here, or just chat with other members. All the best Andreas

I'll be in the Indonesian part of Papua again next summer I hope that counts as a decent field trip All the best Andreas

Here is another picture of a Squamellaria thekii. It was found in the same area as Derricks plant. The first picture might well show the same individual!

OK, that explains a lot. I had similar results with very young plants but never with older ones. All the best Andreas

Hello Fred, the Stem Cutting result is quite fascinating. Was this an adult or a seedling plant? All the best Andreas

Hello Philipp, It will root, but no caudex will develop. All the best Andreas

A few years ago while looking for Nepenthes in the mountains around Malaybalay, Central Mindanao) we came through a village in which a man lived who collects plants for the local market. Among many things that were not of interest for me, he had a few very interesting Hydnophytum plants in his garden:

That is exactly how I was hoping, the forum would work! Several eyes simply see more than just two and some kind of "crowd-brain" has ideas a single one does not have. I was completely blind when it comes to Myrmecodia erinacea and M. alata, yet the solution was very easy. Just a bit of pooling ideas between Frank and me... All the best Andreas

Edit Andreas Wistuba - 10th of May 2014 Please compare this plant with the plants found near Timika. Leaves and petioles seem to match perfectly, yet spines are completely different! In any case, what I got really looks much different. Leaves and petioles of mine come much closer to the FB-picture. I am tempted to opening yet another thread for my plant... Here are some pictures - please do not look too closely at the mess in the background... Just a thought: Could it be possible, that we are looking at a hybrid swarm???

Ok, I just opened threads here for replies. However, I'd still ask to restrict replies to topics of general interest. PLEASE, NO NEGOTIATIONS OR CONVERSATIONS THAT ARE ONLY OF INTEREST FOR THE TWO PARTIES INVOLVED HERE!!!

Dear Acro, the idea is to keep the level of commercialisation low on this forum. Also, when 2 members interact about a swap or trade, that's their business IMHO. All the best Andreas

Dear Satoshi, the more I look at the picture, the more I doubt that it's Myrmephytum: IMHO the single stem looks a lot like Myrmephytum, BUT if it was Myrmephytum, one would expect to see the fleshy bracts of inflorescences that are absent on the whole stem. A stem of that length certainly would be capable of flowering. So, I'd rather suggest it's Hydnophytum. A VERY interesting species! All the best Andreas

Hi Chris, I started all my Lecanopteris tissue cultures from spores. This works quite well, but of cause they have the chance to grow up under 100% sterile conditions without competition from moss and algae. However, I frequently find sporelings in the greenhouse. Most of them germinate and grow on the under side of hanging pots around the drainage holes. All the best Andreas
