RE: Pale Green Gonatopus

From: Steve Marak <samarak at arachne.uark.edu> on 1998.05.05 at 14:34:26(2087) Don, Wilbert, and others, Back from St. Louis and with a few (rare) free moments ... I have a Gonatopus that sounds very similar to Don's - all green (i.e., petiole and leaflets), looks like it will reach about the same ultimate size as my largest "normal" G. boivinii but has somewhat fewer, though larger, leaflets. I don't recall the tuber's appearance; my Gonatopus seem to need (and therefore get) very little attention. My plant came from Phil Mueller, in one of the last shipments he sent before he went sailing. As he was pretty rushed, it was a small tuber labeled only "green gonatopus". It has grown nicely, and might well flower at next emergence. Since this topic arose, I've been trying to remember our conversations about it without much success. I don't think he knew whether it was a boivinii or something different, nor do I recall where he got it. I haven't tried propagating it - I assume it would be as easy to root leaflets as the the usual one. Steve +More -- Steve Marak -- samarak@arachne.uark.edu
