If we ignore pygmae, there seem to be 3 Crypts of note in the Philippine islands: C. usteriana, C. coronata and C. aponigetifolia.
The odd thing is, C. coronata has leaves like usteriana but a flower very much like aponigetifolia.
This causes me to speculate: is coronata a hybrid of UST and APO?
Is coronata the plants from which both APO and UST evolved?
Chromosome counts and karytypes would help. Jan has a few but not many that I can see. Anybody have any ideas about this stuff?
