To all Europeans I met,
I seem to have lost a slide of G.lobata somewhere on my European
tour. I'm almost sure it was before I reached England, most likely in
Bern or Udine. Thus Juerg Steiger, I'd really appreciate it if you
could take a look around your house and see if the slide didn't
fall out anywhere. Also Alessandro Delfrate, if you could look around
your car, or talk to Furio and Fiorello and ask them to take a look
around their places, I'd be very thankful. I have very few slides of this
species and that was the best one of all.
The good news regarding G.lobata is that I now have it in
cultivation again!! Remember I went to see it in the wild in October/
November, but there were none left (confirming it's an annual in
the wild)? I'd collected mosses at a site where I'd seen this species 2
and 1/2 years before, and now there are several little plants
germinating, which are almost surely this species.
