Provenance: "In 2008 I got seeds from a grower in Australia for a plant labeled as “Myrmecodia platytyrea, Mossman, Australia”. When the plant got older it became obviously that it was not a regular M. platytyrea because:(1.) it had succulent leaves that normal platytyreas do not have, and (2.) it lacked the “corn cob-like” arrangement of the clypeoli on the stem that is very striking and characteristic of M. platytyrea. So, the consensus now is that the plants in Mossman Gorge are not typical M. platytyreas. And the expectation is that they will be elevated to a new species in the future." 3
