  1. Bonjour

    very interesting method JAY  , and really the plant is sprouting new growths on the upper edge of the wound ?

    you use this method on a  healthy plant or a damaged plant.

    I tried that too on a plant that began to rot, I had removed all the damaged part with a cutter blade until reaching the healthy part ,Then I sprouted with charcoal powder,Unfortunately the result had not been convincing.

    may be  ventilation was not sufficient ?

    have you try leaf or stem cuttings ?

    it is not a question but a answer

     

    for me a registered herbarium sheet is greater than a non-exhaustive list, but that's just my opinion.

     

    for IPNI  see here :  IMPORTANT: IPNI does not have information on what are currently accepted names and what are taxonomic (i.e. heterotypic) synonyms. Find this information in floras, monographs, checklists, revisions etc.

    but we have some  herbarium bogoriense sheet  with some  registration number ( LEIDEN), it is not sufficient   , find in borneo in 1925 and 1956

     

    Furthermore these H.extendifolium  specimen is very well preserved , and very close to this  H."perangustum" and H.puffii

  4. Bonjour

     

    While this is indeed a good thing.

    but we must also take into account other similar Hydnophytum has this P. Perangustum in different herbaria that can be seen

    compare 2 different plant has no interest for me.

     

    I would have like it compares this P.puffii  with P. extendifolium   for example :rolleyes:

  5. Bonjour

     

    very good infos  but some problem nevertheless  this DERRICK info :

     

    So it is to be an official name if it does FINALLY get published.  Currently we may use Hydnophytum perangustum Jebb & C. R. Huxley in press.  However, for some unknown reason this is taking an extremely long time to be published, but It is evident that copies of Jebb & Huxley's Hydnophytum revision have been shared with some academics.

     

    then 2 names for the same species ?

     

    may be also H.extendifolium  from borneo ?

     

    I am OK with JAY  on the picture , but on the morphological characters  I see tuber subglobose to slightly compressed ovoid ,it could do so , no?

  6. I understand the problem 'in situ', I'm not so obtuse.

    In the other genus that interested and for which I am often 'in situ', it is also difficult and each details can be important for the determination or to discover new species, sub species, varieties or forms.

    you do not have confronts you in this for the Heliamphora?

      'ex situ' although this is difficult, it's sometimes more, look J, it happens well, although sometimes the macro are not very sharp and difficult to interpret, he made some great discoveries.

    sacrificing one or two flowers in my opinion it is not a drama.

     

    for  Aurelien species, between tuberosa 'armata' and tuberosa 'muelleri' may be this could bring him more.

  7. Bonjour

     

    to make  expeditions in these regions, it is necessary to have money and a good physical condition, unfortunately I do not have those two things.

     

    the europe for some others genus, is already quite large

    So I work mostly on past and current documents in our possession , like you it seem to me .

     

    as a botanist I like to have correct and complete descriptions for determinations.

    for these plants, these morphological details

     

    -tuber

    -stem

    -leaves

    -inflorescence

    -flowers

    -fruit

     

    Pictures make  not everything, we also need other elements  like flowers section .

     

    in  all publications, all these details are described , why not do it ?
