Lovely flowers. I think I'm beginning to really like green
Phrags., especially with twisty petals.

Very nice pictures!

 

[Florian]

Thanks!

Another richteri.

 

[Phrag-Plus]

Very nice richteri!
Can I see a close up from your longifolium? Thank you!

 

[Florian]

Sure.
I think it looks different to the normal longifoliums, but I have no comparison with other chapaenses.

Thanks for the pictures! The close up was helpful...I first thought it was a straight longifolium and now I'm confuse?....

I had a look at my data and references and not believe it is a chappadense…The staminode is very different!

 

[Florian]

Your are right. In comparison with other chappadense it looks very different. But it looks different to a straight longifolium too. Maybe it is a deformed Plant?

Lovely greenies.

As a sample here is a picture from P. longifolium from equador to help.
See the staminode shape.

Sorry Roberto I do not get your point about the staminode shape. Why is different a longifolium fma capadendense fom a regular one? In some pictures the side lobes of the pouch does have a somehow different pattern of dotting... but in the illustration seems to me the same as the regular one.http://cloud.tapatalk.com/s/58f6c8c186312/IMG_2017-04-18_21-06-22.JPG

The only difference i can allways see is that the hairs on the staminode is darkbrown on a longifolium and redbrown on a chapadense. On My plant it is more reddish. The form of the staminode of my plant dosen' t fit to a normal longifolium or chapadense.
Maybe it is a chapadense with a deformed staminode?

 

[eteson]

Thanks a lot Florian. The staminode shape can be somehow variable in this species. Also the hairs are in some populations absent.
Look this one from South Colombia.

 

[Florian]

Is this not a Phrag. hartwegii?

 

[eteson]

It is longifolium... hartwegii is synomim of longifolium. Someone invented that the "bald" longifolium is hartwegii but hartwegii was never described this way.
This is a very interestin reading:
