and other discovery

[jeff]

perhaps a new P.lusitanica form or variety , in study actually


the normal form

[Brian Barnes]

Hi Jeff,
Looks like an 'alba' form of sorts....Very nice! Does it have the typical veining patterns on the leaves?
Happy Growing,
Brian.

I work 'in situ' for the first time
these 2 populations are not in the same area , I think variety rather than form .

actually I know 2 populations one neer my home and an other to 400 km .
Neer my home I have also a brown population I can compared .

for these brown population 2 posibility in shade or in full sunlight .
in full sunlight the leaves are veined of red with a yellow - gray color often they are annual
in shade more green like this picture


often they are bi or tri annual .

for the yellow population allways in shade like this picture
they are bi or tri annual also

the next year still some pictures and I tackle the part tests “ex situ” , substrat, sunlight , behaviour over 3 years with the same morphological characters, transimission of these characters by seeds.

many wook , I have also others temperate in study ;D

[Brian Barnes]

Very nice photos and plants, Jeff.
The last one has an uncanny resemblance to P. pumila... ;D
Happy Growing,
Brian.

Hi Jeff,

nice habitat pictures you have there.
Also nice differences in this species.

Best regards,

Dani

Brian yes these 2 species have some resemblance I differentiate them by their throat


at left the pumila at right the lusitanica .

on the lusitanica you see directly the stigmate ,on the pumila you have in front of a 'feather duster' sort and next the stigmate
