Hi!,
Jan, Dave and anyone else interested.
Some years ago someone found a plant up on the Magaliesberg
Mountains in the Transvaal area of South Africa, a non CP
enthusiast, he sent it to his friend Mark Boulle in Durban, Natal,
SA. Mark sent me a plant to identify, and definitely traded
something weird/rare in return. I thought it looked a lot like my
collinsae, but sufficiently different, so informed him that I
thought it was new. HELP!!!!. I was dying to distribute it to my
friends at the time, I am just a printer fascinated by CP. and
D.sp Magaliesberg sounded good!!!!!.
What about the others, nothing like what Allen Lowrie is
finding, but D.sp floating?, an aliciae which has a strange habit
of floating during the Winter months, esterhuizenae large and small
forms, which look like a greener form of D.slackii, I doubt whether
their names have been officially latinized. D.cistiflora var eitz,
Gunter Eitz and I found it in the Clanwilliam district, it's growth
habit is very different to the common form of cistiflora, and at
the time looked around for a name to call it, something to identify
it from the others!!!!, Gunter was the only one standing within
miles.
ALL THE BEST Eric
