Re: Adro question
Do you have a copy of the PRT Adro book Brian? It's still available new from Keith Larkin and cheap enough. It mentions these two names. You can email me from my website for more info.

Re: Adro question
So... what is the answer to your own question? Not all of us have that book, so don't leave us in anxious suspense over this.brianc wrote:i feel such a fool for posting the question now. Adros are my favourite plants.

Re: Adro question
I saw a hard bound copy at ELK a few years back for only 5 eurs (if I recall well). I didn't buy it, but was having some remorse afterwards. Haven't seen the book since...

Re: Adro question
Hello AIKO
It appears that both adros mentioned are both related to A Trigynus a section 2 plant.
They are mentioned in the section of the book superfluos and dubious names.
They are small leaved plants which are sometimes seen in cultivation,i have never seen them
the nearest plant with very small leaves that i have is A Nanus but that is in section 3.
If you are interested in Adros i recommend the mentioned book, i mainly grow the low growing
plants as i find some can get out of hand and look very untidy.
I started growing Adros about 20 years ago and found it very hard to find plants so ended up buying
anything i found, but now it is much easier to find plants so i am abit more selective.

Re: Adro question
I have suggested to DT & JP that the Adro book deserves a reprint, hardback, larger page size with more photos, plants in habitat and cultivation.
