Satoshi Posted April 24, 2014 Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 The spesies whichi has not been seen in the ant plant collected from Mindanao was found. It compares with M.selebicum. Hydnophytum? The left is a new species and tha right is a Myrmephytum selebicum. New species is no spine and a leaf is defferent. A stalk is the appearance of Myrmephytum.

jeff Posted April 24, 2014 Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 Bonjour no flower ? may be a hydnophytum . jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satoshi Posted April 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 Ko n ni chi wa. Yes,Sorry no flower. I had gone to Mindoro of the Philippines in Apl 18-23. This was found in a friend's nursery. A photograph will be published if a flower blooms, since it took home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andreas Wistuba Posted April 24, 2014 Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 Dear Satoshi, very very interesting! All the best Andreas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derrick Posted April 24, 2014 Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 Yes most interesting Satoshi. Both plants have masses of rather thin fibrous roots, something not seen in the few hydnophytum species I am familiar with in habitat that tend to have much fewer but thicker and longer roots. Is this type of root system something common to myrmephytums? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bukidnon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andreas Wistuba Posted April 25, 2014 Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 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!

Andreas Wistuba Posted April 26, 2014 Report Share Posted April 26, 2014 ant hole. The holes are arranged in rows. A tiny little bit reminiscent of the unparalleled Hydnophytum kajewskii Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeff Posted April 26, 2014 Report Share Posted April 26, 2014 this taxon was found at what altitude in PHILLIPINAS , you know ? it is a young taxon , no. yes ,tuber coarsely honey combed. jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satoshi Posted April 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2014 I also often observed and considered Hydnophytum. But a stalk is thicker than Hydnophytum. Is has the more nearly middle feature. Possibility of mating of Hydnophytum ando Myrmephytum? It observes more a photograph is published.

Derrick Posted April 14, 2018 Report Share Posted April 14, 2018 There is as yet unpublished DNA research that at least one species currently named a Hydnophyum is actually an Anthorrhiza. Thus one wonders about this plants DNA and what it might reveal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
