Hans-Georg Kramer (Wedel near Hamburg) has grown it submersed, where it looks the same as in photos of H. sp. 'Guinea' in the www. I've sent living stalks and photos of flowers to Dr. Josef Bogner (Munich), he already told me which species it may be, but I don't find again my note..
I'll post photos of flowers and try to make specimens if it's flowering again. |
Do let us know if you find that note. I have the name of a guy at Kew who might be able to help and am trying to flower my specimen for that now. So it will be a race.
Unless you find the note...
I've pretty much come up empty on this one myself. Specimens and written material for African stuff seem to be hard to find.
