trifasciata vs.laurentii :an unorthodox point of view.
Comments (2)Roberto, If this is true, then Prain cannot be considered the true author. He did not correctly follow the process of nomenclature. If you do it quickly, S. trifasciata Roberto (Surname unknown on line) could be it's name! However, if laurentii is to be considered validly published, then the name must be S. laurentii fma. trifasciata. This ends with the variegated plant being the species, as it was first named. Now this would REALLY be messy in the system! All the cultivar names would be flipped and switched, wobbled and tipped!!! Yikes. Oh, but I do love your unorthodox viewpoint to stir the cauldron of science. Don't you just love taxonomy?!?!?! Michael Interlaken NY Z6...See MoreTrifasciata Futura pups "on high"
Comments (14)Mike, That is a beautiful photo. I wonder if your plant will continue growing leaves in the center. I can see the pups on the stacker are growing from underground while yours are in mid-air. Maybe it's a mutation? Is the Chahinian book hard to find these days?...See MoreS. trifasciata species type? S. zeylanica?
Comments (1)I am on another forum that has discussed this very issue. The common sans that you are referring to is sans trifasciata--the common green leaf with cross banding, no variegation. I bought what was called s. zeylanica and sent a photo to the forum. It did look like trifasiata but the banding was narrow and the leaves much smaller. The people who should know all said "Nope-not the real zeylanica!" Then a photo came from Shrilanka of the real zeylanica, which is native to the island. Obviously, my plant was not that zeylanica. The plant that we bought is for sale in a few places. I think Bob Smoley says s. trifasciata zeylanica so you know it isn't the species from Shrilanka. Apparently the real thing is very seldom seen in the USA. Johanna...See MoreShorter forms of S. trifasciata cultivars
Comments (7)A nice start there! As you said, all the hahnii types and future types stay small. I have the hahnis 'Streaker' and 'Silver Frost'....both of which I love, along with jade dwarf marginated. I used to have silver marginated which is quite nice too but no longer have it. 'golden hahni' is around but can be more difficult to grow than the others. See Stushs' recent post for some great photos. I also have hahni 'Siebert' from Stush which has light variegation in the center of each leaf. 'Moonshine' is commonly available, beautiful when young, and stays future sized. I also have future 'Midnight Shine'.......kind of like the future version of 'Jade Dwarf Marginated'. I have Whitney also (very easy) but do not have 'Eve' (the reverse variegation). Lots of great cultivars!!!...See MoreMichaela
