It is indeed Gonatopus angustus (syn. G. rhizomatosus). This must be a child of the Munich clone (as on the IAS website) that deviates considerably from many others of the species in having very short and broad leaflets, whereas more typically the leaflets are narrow lanceolate to even almost linear.

Cheers,

Wilbert

Thanks Bobby,

this was indeed discussed in the forum as a possibilty.

However, the one who asked for the id strengthend the point that this specimen is only about 6 inch (15 cm) tall and is growing in that manner for years now.

It has flowered years ago bur unfortunatly no photo was taken.

He had the impression from pics inthe web that G. angustus is taller.

rgds, Bernhard.

Dear Wilbert,

thanks for the clarification and then hint on the leaf shape.

Those points let the two guys from Bochum doubt hat it might be G. angustus.

They are the youngest members of the gardeners team in Bochum and all they know is that the plant is labeled as G. boivinii and that it came from the Bot. Garden Heidelberg.

I will update them with your info....

Groetjes, Bernhard.

Hi Bernard,

The connection to Heidelberg is there. My “Munich clone” also has a deeper history in Heidelberg and is almost certainly a collection by Werner Rauh but none of the Heidelberg databases comes up with something and tells us the whereabouts of their specimen is “unknown”.

I may have to ask Josef Bogner again if his material also originated from Heidelberg.
