for this one no seeds , perhaps one day that will depend on my contacts over there ;D
for some others species ( myrmecodia-hydnophytum perhaps also the very rare myrmephytum) I have several juvenil .
I would really wish that others be interested has these antplants ( rubiaceae-dischidia-lecanopteris and solanopteris), It is a hope it's a pitty ;D.

inside you have several gallery for the ant . It is a myrmecophile plant .  these 2 live in symbiosis - the plant brings room and board - the ant defense and manure nitrogen jeff |

How big is the plant? It looks like space for quite a large colony.

Ok, thanks for replying.
I was asking because Irian Jaya is a remote place I want to visit someday for its Nepenthaceae flora.
You will be happy Jeff, I will soon post pictures of 4 antplants species I've seen in Borneo 2 weeks ago (Myrmecodia, dischidia and Lecanopteris).
Cheers,
François.
