Derrick Posted April 21, 2014 Report Share Posted April 21, 2014 Boigu Island sits near better known Saibai Island, both being Australian islands in Torres Strait with Saibai sitting only 4 k from New Guinea. This plant survey lists both Hydnophytum moseleyanum subsp moseleyanum and H. formicarum as being resident there. http://www.tsra.gov.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0011/4502/Saibai_Biodiversity_Profile_January_2013.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andreas Wistuba Posted April 21, 2014 Report Share Posted April 21, 2014 Hi Derrick, I would take such records with some doubts. Floral inventories often are done by very few people or are the result of a diploma or PhD thesis. At least they cannot have a specialist for every single group in boat. I came across completely weird results when it came to Nepenthaceae and thus when seeing results that seem strange I am very cautious. All the best Andreas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derrick Posted April 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2014 Yes, I also am very dubious about their status but if the plants are very different to moseleyanum they might even be something new. ????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
