Across the pond, I believe you spell it Oedema, no?

Medically it means a build up of fluid. I think people are referring to as the lumpiness of the leaves. Whether the bumpiness is actually a build up of fluid or not I'm not sure.

Beautiful plants! This is a species that I've been trying to add to my collection for a while, but haven't been able to because it's always either out of stock or the grower is not selling.
