jeff Posted January 31, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2019 Bonjour may be this one : https://www.wistuba.com/non-carnivorous-plants/antplants-rubiaceae/possibly-new-genus/index.php herbarium board : http://pinguicula.free.fr/mamberamoense1.png http://pinguicula.free.fr/mamberamoense.png your idea ?

Andreas Wistuba Posted February 3, 2019 Report Share Posted February 3, 2019 Dear Jeff, I agree, that the likelihood is there that it is in fact this species. However, if you look at my photographs below, I guess you'll agree that this species neither belongs into Hydnophytum, nor into Myrmecodia. At first sight, it looks like a Myrmecodia, but aprt from the the unique inflorescence, tuber lacks the highly organized architecture of Myrmecodia and the inflorescence. One of my thoughts was as well that this in fact shows a species related to Hydnophytum mamberamoense (nomen nudum) but the plants I found were much more compact. I did not see any of the elongated stems as shown on the herbarium sheet. In any case I believe, that the plant shown in my pictures represents a new genus. All the best Andreas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andreas Wistuba Posted February 3, 2019 Report Share Posted February 3, 2019 Here are some pictures I took of Hydnophytum/Myrmecodia mamberameonse (nomina nuda) in the Bogor herbarium. Yes there are big similarities, but stems seem much more elongated: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeff Posted February 4, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2019 Bonjour on the drupe how many pyrenes number ? on the flower how many fid and have you a ring of hair ? the shape of the leaves is quite characteristic,is not it 😉 on this specimen the between nodes seems indeed rather short, but maybe it is a problem of condition of life, on the others that you saw the stems are always picked up?
