Thanks for reopening the thread. I humbly request you to read the quote you have read carefully. It says
"Often densely glandular pubescent rachis------" Often is not the term for Always. Also the same paper talks about distinct 3-lobed stigma in Spiranthes hongkongensis. Not sure the often is applicable here or not but all contents are in one line. It also "assumes" that Spiranthes hongkongensis is result of hybridization between Spiranthes sinensis and S.spiralis. The text uses the word "Probably" . Again it is not confirmed. regards Pankaj Oudhia On Fri, Apr 13, 2012 at 2:27 PM, Dr Pankaj Kumar <[email protected]>wrote: > Respected Gurcharan sir > Do you have pics of healthy plant of this. > I want to resolve the mystery of Spiranthes sinensis, Spiranthes australis > and Spiranthes hongkongensis. > S. sinensis is not supposed to be pubescent originally.
