Re: Drawings found !

Post by Lithos »

I'll be posting some more drawings soon. This is an appeal for any images or information anyone might have on Brachystelma sp.nova, Mangula, Zimbabwe - collected by John Lavranos in 1985. A few were sold by Roy Mottram at Whitestones nursery. Also looking for images and information on Brachystelma stenophyllum, there's one black and white photo in Dyer's book and one fuzzy photo online, but so far that's all I can find. Any help much appreciated

Here's one I'm not sure any alive 'western' collector/ grower has ever seen. Two found in 1974 by Frank Horwood and John Lavranos.
