Forum for Epiphytic Myrmecophytes

Recommended Posts

This is to test our collective efforts. The plants in this first photo were identified by a world hydnophytinae expert as being a mixture of Hydnophytum radicans and H. petiolatum.  The latter species has the typical smaller leaves of many hydnophytums; therefore it is the plants with large leaves that interest us here.  I will post images of various H. petiolatum plants in a separate post.

Hello Derrick,

IMHO, most of the plants in these pictures are Myrmecodia, including the large-leaved ones in the 1st picture.

 

Hydnophytum radicans is closely related to H. simplex (being well known and widely spread in cultivation):

I see nothing resembling that in the pictures.

 

All the best
