Ed, I think that is Oenocarpus minor, not Geonoma aspidiifolia. I have a good shot of the latter, but it is 149 Kb, and the system won't accept it. Is there any way to resize such a picture? It's already the minimum size on my camera.

Mike,

why do yo say Oenocarpus minor?   I tagged these from Andrews commentary.

You can resize but you need some photostop or simular soft ware. Just change the area of the picture or the density of the pixels.

Best regards,

Ed

Ed, I tagged my pics from Andew's commentary, too. Just checked Andrew's book. It doesn't help with photos, only has the fruit bract of G. aspidiifolia. The book does describe aspidiifolia as having broad "sigmoid" leaves that can be narrower in some forms. Also describes O. minor as having narrow leaflets regularly arranged, though eophylls are "palmate"!

BTW, your pics are really good. I hope you don't mind my pickyness about the ID's. I do have Photoshop Elements, and have resized my pic that I have tagged as Geonoma aspidiifolia. I am about to try to post it. Wish me luck.

No problem Mike,  

just that  it has red- bronze leaves ,  I don't think that is a Oenocarpus character

(correct me here if you know better) ---though I might have gotten some of the names mixed up .--- it wouldnt be the first time I got something mixed up like the Leopoldina for instance

You were a bit more diligent and organized on the trip than me .

Best regards,

Ed
