More Adromischus with mixed up labels

Post by KathyM »

These are more of the plants that arrived without labels. I thought I'd matched them up with the list of of plants I ordered, but I'm not confident I got it right. I have a lot of leaf cuttings because leaves fell off during shipping and these are doing well, so when I label them up individually I don't want to be copying the wrong name onto the new labels.

In particular I got 2 different Adromischus alstonii and 2 different A. hemisphaericus, and one called A. aff. roanianus that I've struggled with. One died and all I have left is leaf cuttings, so I haven't posted a picture of that.

I think this is hemisphaericus?

Both the hemisphaericus I ordered had field numbers, well, one had 2. CR1311/DT6190 was apparently a plant without spots on its leaves, and CR1533 (clone 4) was apparently a spotty leaved plant. This is the one I think is the other, spotty, hemisphaericus:

I think this next one is alstonii and the one that rotted was the other; that one had leaves without spots. They both had a locality, but it was the same one for both, West of Naip.

I think this is aff. roanianus/roaneanus:

I also ordered an Adromischus marianae 'Tanqua' that had a different leaf colour than I expected but obviously leaf colour varies a lot so I'm not sure if it is still correct.

This has an interesting double leaf. I have spotted these on a few plants. Are they common on Adromischus?

Thanks.

Hi CathyM,

I'm afraid your plants are still too young and not showing mature characters to enable identification. Please post new pictures in about a year's time.

That A. m. "Tanqua" looks correct though.

Best wishes,

Thank you for the ID of 'Tanqua', I will post more pics of the others when they have more leaves! I assume that if they flower next year the flowers are useful for identification?
