OK I've tried the CP Database on the net but I can't find a reference so ....

Can anyone tell me the origins of the plant name

P.heterophylla Papalo

I'd like to know if the "Papalo" is an accepted varietal name and, if
possible, whether anyone knows any retail or wholesale list or any
journal which has published the name. Do we know who assigned the name,
who first grew or found such a plant? Even if it is an improper name
I'd still like all the info available on the name origin. Finally, do
we know why the name was assigned (i.e. presumably the person who named
it though the plant deserved the name). So is it a reference to a
location (Papalo where?) or is it a reference to particular features
that differ from the type form and, if so, how does it differ?

This "Papalo" is a complete mystery to me so any help, no matter how
insignificant you think it is, would be of help.

Regards

Paul
