The next fruit from N°1604 #1 has fallen down, so there are only eleven left, but in contrast to the former two it is denser than water:

And this is the update of the four fruit bearing inflorescences:

N°1604#1: 11; N°1601#2: 5; N°1603#1: 3; N°1604#2: 26.

You’re doing a remarkable job in keeping this species from going completely extinct and documenting it well. Keep up the good work. 

Ive just had some S hoehnei seed come up and I’m following your information to keep them going.

Two fat ripe fruits: :drool:

Are they viable? The size seems to be ok …

Do they sink in water?

No success so far, all seeds dried up before they could ripen.

And 2 weeks later: :blush:

Now I hope that these two fruits will really ripen and produce viable seeds: :interesting:

The last two are looking good.

No germination success, maybe because pollen and fruit come from the same plant? :hmm:

Maybe, or it’s just practising. Maybe the embryo didn’t fully develop. Hopefully it will flower again for you.

I am now waiting for the inflorescences of N°1601#5 (or #6?) and N°1603#5.

N°1604 was on the verge of dying (like N°1602 before) for whatever reason last winter and had lost all its fronds; now it has only one single full frond and one leaf spear.
