Phrag. boissierianum (?)

[tomkalina]

Found in bloom this morning and labelled P. boissierianum /czerwiakowianum by Clements back in the 70's. Anybody care to comment on whether it's one or the other (or maybe a hybrid?) and what the differences are?

Thanks,

Did you post a photo?

Thanks, Eric. I'm thinking more Praying Mantis than czerwiakowianum because of the dark hairs on the superior edge of the staminode.

I wouldn't know much about these green things!

 

[tomkalina]

What green things? Don't tell me I missed something:evil:

This one looks like it has bit of regular longifolium in it.

Hi Russell,

When comparing them to the ones on Phragweb, I think your's looks like the true boissierianum and mine the hybrid.

Thanks,

Miam! Miam! Miam! :drool:

Yummy? I think that's the translation I remember of "miam".

Hi Dot,

I think your's is an authentic boissierrianum. Some day I'm coming up to your neck of the woods to find out how to take photos like that!

Thanks,

My turn! Yum, Yum! Nice species! I agree with Tom and others...hybrid.

Tom- Definitely has longifolium in it. I had a czerwiakowianum for many years, and it looked more like Dot's. All green though, and very, very ruffled. I miss it, but I had it a good 10-15 years.

 

[tomkalina]

Thanks all, I think I'll breed it with a good caudatum. Don't think it's been done yet.

Any time, Tom.

Here is mine Phrag Boissierianum var. czerwiakowianum, The plant is compact, different from P. boissierianum and P. Boissierianum Var. reticulatum, also staminode is heart shape in var. czerwiakowianum.
