gratrixianum var. daoense

[labskaus]

A member of the rather complex gratrixianum (-villosum?) alliance.

This has a white dorsal (no green) and the plant itself looks pretty much like henryanum.

Can you post a photo of the whole plant/ and a comparison of any other grat's?

yes please, that would be quite interesting

Lovely.

That doesn't look like any henry I've seen and very different from my
gratrix as well. I'm somewhat puzzled.

Very cool!!!! Jean

 

[Ozpaph]

a very pretty dorsal

To the left, henryanum (in bud);

to the right, gratrixianum var. daoense

middle back, gratrixianum (of trade, hasn't it been named as var. christensonianum lately?)

Angela, sorry for misleading you. I was talking about the plant habitus only, not the flowers.

More details, leaf bases of the three plant from above post:

henryanum (purple flushed leaf base)

var. daoense (fine purple dusting on leaf base)

gratrixianum (heavy spotting extending to the lower third of the leaf)

Thank you, Carsten. That's information that I needed to see and had
never noticed on my plants before.

 

[SlipperKing]

Good stuff Carsten, thanks for the comparative. Love that flower.

Quite interesting comparison! The leaves of your henryanum are quite long. The leaves of my henry are only 10cm (3.9'') long.
