Anubias cv. 'Nangi' - Plant ID

Авось · 03-11-2009, 03:39 AM

Hello everybody!
I bad understand english. I live in the Ukraine. Plants of genus Anubias - my hobby.

I interest reliable information on Anubias cv. 'Nangi'. Photo of young plant? Photo of adult plant? Photo of flower?

This truth, that Anubias cv. 'Nangi' = Anubias barteri var. nana x Anubias gilleti?

I know that, presumably, the author of this hybrid – Robert A. Gasser (http://www.xs4all.nl/~crypts/Cryptoc...er/Gasser.html) Truth this?

That you else be aware of this person and its work on plants of genus Anubias?

I will be very grateful to all who will respond.

Does it look like this? The plant in the picture was obtained by me as Anubias 'Gasser' from a friend in Florida who knew Robert Gasser. It is a hybrid, but I do not know of what two species.

AaronT, thanks for the answer.
Else for the information the reference to the polish site - http://akwa-mania.mud.pl/rosliny/an%20gilleti.html
I have a plant, which I bought under name An. 'Nangi'.
But I have bases to doubt competence of the seller.
This plant from my collection, grown up over water -

(Photo from 23.04.08 )
I saw samples of this plant in height of 1 metre, which have been grown up in the closed pool.
It much more, than height of plant Anubias gilletii.
Therefore I very much doubt that this hybrid plant on the basis of Anubias gilletii.
Me any information about Robert Gasser and its firm still interests.

I wish I had more information on it. Unfortunately, my understanding is that Mr. Gasser didn't leave behind very much documentation as to his methods and findings. It's a real shame that so much of that information is now lost to the hobby.

I was answered with mister Peter Schneider - the firm founder "Aquarium Perle"

To contact it it is possible through AQUARIUM PERLE VERLAG

It has sent me the information:
"Anubias nangi wurden bei mir in emerser Kultur niemals über 15 cm hoch; submers wird sie höchstens 10 cm hoch.
Ich habe meine Anubias nangi vor vielen Jahren von Herrn Gasser bezogen und nachher selber jahrelang vermehrt und verkauft.
Anubias nangi hat ein viel zarteres Blatt (submers und emers) als alle andern mir bekannten Anubias-Arten und wächst auch etwas schneller als andere Arten dieser Gattung. Sie ist darum eine äusserst wertvolle Art für den Vordergrund eines Aquariums"

Here a translation attempt of P. Schneider’s infos into my elementary “English”

:

“Anubias „nangi“ never grew higher than 15 cm in my emersed culture; submersed it grows maximum 10 cm high.
I’ve obtained my Anubias “nangi” many years ago from Mr. Gasser and then I’ve propagated and sold it for years myself.
Anubias “nangi” has a much more delicate leaf (submersed and emersed) than all other Anubias species known to me and grows somewhat faster than the other species, too. It is therefore a most valuable species for the foreground of an aquarium.”

Thanks miremonster. It's definitely different then. The Gasser hybrid I have is much larger, more the size of normal barteri only with the longer leaves.

Does Peter Schneider still cultivate his version of A. nangi? Most interesting plant.
Schneider's photo on the left has the underline: "Emersed form of Anubias nangi (the submersed plant looks very similar, but the leaves are then rather horizontally arranged)."
His drawings on the right show the difference between his A. nangi (leaf tip acuminate: with concave curves) and A. barteri and A. heterophylla (leaf tip obtuse-acute).
