Help with ID on two unusual houseplants (pics)
Comments (7)Thanks for your thoughts! After looking up pics, it turns out the 2nd plant is indeed "Lucky Bean." If anyone's interested, here's a snippet I found on the web about it: TRI-OLOGY, Vol. 43, No. 6 NOVEMBER-DECEMBER 2004 Page 2 of 10 Moreton Bay Chestnut, Lucky Bean: A native primarily of gallery forests (i.e., forests that form a corridor of trees along river systems), this handsome tree may grow as tall as 20 m in the wild, although in cultivation it is usually considerably shorter. It has odd-pinnate leaves, to 15 cm long, with 11-15 coriaceous leaflets. Appearing with the first flush of new leaves in crowded clusters on the old wood, the 4 cm long yellow pea-like flowers turn red as they age. The fruits are cylindrical pods, to 20 cm long, bearing three to five seeds, each weighing as much as 30 gr. These are poisonous while raw, but are edible upon roasting. The tree yields a valuable timber, and it is sometimes planted for shade or along streets in tropical regions. In the United States, at least, it is most familiar as a house plant, under the name "lucky bean." Several seeds are started in a pot, and the resulting seedlings are prized for their attractive foliage, but even more so for the large decorative, black cotyledons held at ground level. Unfortunately, the plant is a short term investment: the cotyledons soon wither, then the seedlings rapidly grow too large for their pot, and the trees are not cold hardy. (Lake County; B2004-694; Tom L. Phillips, 2 November 2004) (Huxley 1992; Mabberley 1997) If anyone does know the species of the first plant (Gynura), please let me know....thanks everyone!!...See MoreHouseplant ID please! Pics
Comments (5)Howdy... Your plant is Kalanchoe beharensis, but not Fang. Fang has fang-like bumps on the back of leaves. Yours is probably K. velvet or K elephant Ears. Your Kalanchoe is a lovely specimen. Toni...See MoreWhat are these houseplants? (pics)
Comments (1)The second one is an Inga species. Possible Inga Edulis, also known as Ice Cream Bean Tree. My parents grew up in El Salvador where this tree grows wild. It grows into a HUGE tree and produces enormous pods with many beans (like the one your plant is growing out of) and the beans are surrounded by a sweet tasting pulp similar in taste to vanilla ice cream. Unfortunately, unless you live in coastal or southern CA or southern Florida yours will not bear fruit....See MoreID Houseplant
