Dear Neil: Very nice, I looked at the last pic first was delighted to see the filaments... and then I found that you had already talked of it in your write up.. ha ha
I could not find any essay or even a snippet about the filaments, and what other plants may have such basal filaments... I know, Gloriosa lily has apex of the leaf becoming a filament and may even act as an anchoring tendril.. but could not find another example of basal filaments ... my question: do you know of any ? or any other members, please. thanks Neil and thanks to all who can tell me baout these stipules/filaments...
