Thanks, Dr Neil for the interesting information. I had kept this plant as H. grande up until now. Then after comparing the various close species I became quite confused - counting the rays, comparing the leaves and the stated heights for the plants. The other factor I considered is the reported flowering time. H. grande is usually stated as flowering in July- Aug whereas the other one is September. I noticed that the plants I photographed the other day were only just beginning to come into bloom.
Do you have a copy of your great uncle's book? I would be interested to see it. regards Radha On 23 August 2013 22:46, Neil Soares <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > Agree with Dinesh.
