That is the most beautiful Erio Ive ever seen!
Confirmed.Can anyone confirm or deny the validity of Amano having his name on one of the most spectacular Erios evar?
I do but It's not about the moneyIf anyone has this plant please let me know so I can sign over my bank account and firstborn ASAP.
And it was the really rare type with the glistening dew drops too!mrkookm was selling it today but sold out now.
Japan and Amanoanum are not the same plants, yes they are both from Japan but different localities.I found on the emerald lake is Eriocaulon sp. Japan and I am not sure if this is the same as what is being called Eriocaulon amanoanum.
Oh I have no doubts that there such a plant named Eriocaulon Amanoanum "T. Koyama" because I do have itI looked this species up on IPNI, and it looks like it was described in 1956. Described too long ago it looks like(to be named after our hero).
I received my plant from the individual who popularized E. amanoanum and my plant looks very different from the Erio sp. Japan that you were selling, Rasheed. With a diameter of about 5" and leaves that are about 1/4" wide and flat, it is similar but easy to differentiate from the 5 or so Erio "japan". Furthermore, the plant I received has a stem which is already 3" tall, as far as I know most of the other Erio "japans" do not grow upwards to the same degree as the true Amanoanum.Japan and Amanoanum are not the same plants, yes they are both from Japan but different localities.
The plant that Coralite received looks like the Japan specie that I was selling today not an Amanoanum.
Erio. Amanoanum is very rare and a protected species in Japan and unless your plant came from Honk Kong, it is highly unlikely that you received E. amanoanum as this species is readily confused with Erio "Japan". You were probably sent a large Erio "Japan" which is why you think that my Amanoanum looks like it. If you had a the true Amanoanum there is no way you would confuse the two.Oh I have no doubts that there such a plant named Eriocaulon Amanoanum "T. Koyama" because I do have it
If you say so I believe you.I received my plant from the individual who popularized E. amanoanum and my plant looks very different from the Erio sp. Japan
hahaha! You forget who you are talking to, don't forget I can school you in this area my friend.Erio.

I thought somebody said that it was named after Takashi Amano, but it apparently isn't. That was my point.Oh I have no doubts that there such a plant named Eriocaulon Amanoanum "T. Koyama" because I do have it, but there are also 4 other Erios to my knowledge that are called Japan, 2 of which I have currently (1 of the 2 went up for sale yesterday).
