Andreas Wistuba Posted December 15, 2014 Report Share Posted December 15, 2014 Hydnophytum spec. (Fiju, Vitil Levu, Near Monasavu Dam) Variability is very high and I am reluctant to call any of the Fijian species by name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aurélien Posted December 15, 2014 Report Share Posted December 15, 2014 Hi, This habitat look to be very humid, as we can see with the fog and the quantity of epiphytes around the tubers. How high where it? The best, Aurélien Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How high where it? The best, Aurélien Hi Aurelien, At least while we were there it was hard to do a few decent photographs because we permanently were in clouds and slight rain. I believe that the roots on many tubers "harvest" the drops from the fog. It was extremely humid! All the best Andreas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Epiphyts on epiphyts! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stone Jaguar Posted December 19, 2014 Report Share Posted December 19, 2014 Andreas: My observations of my plants in a perhumid/cloud forest greenhouse versus those grown in an adjacent standard well-vented stovehouse here have convinced me that the proliferation of adventitious roots in plants being grown in a mist-laden environment is very much evidence that these roots capture ambient moisture very effectively. I have seen several young hydnos literally "bristle" with newly-emergent, quite long roots on their caudexes since being moved to the most humid parts of the greenhouse over the past month. Aurelien, yes I'm definitely starting to see epiphylls (in the form of mosses, filmy ferns and other fern sporelings) growing on some of my epiphytic hydnophytines here Cheers all, J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Posted June 24, 2019 Report Share Posted June 24, 2019 Look like Squamellaria tenuiflora ”hairy tuber“.The geographical position is same as S. tenuiflora. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
