Bloom Status: 🪴 Not Flowering

Location: 1217

Quantity: 1

Source: Frank Omilian

Provenance:

A seedling of what is in the trade here in the US as Hydnophytum papuanum.
It does have some unique leaf features - smaller, thicker, rolled on the edges.  I am not sure it is really papuanum because papuanum should have no (few?) hairs in the floral tube and the 50 or so plants I have looked at of these moseleyanum types all have hairs in the floral tube.  I am not convinced the real H. papuanum is in cultivation here.1
