Matt in SD Posted August 23, 2006 Report Share Posted August 23, 2006 Nice photos. That Clinostigma has been there for a couple of years I think. That's what they look like when you don't water enough and they have no mulch, pretty sad. That "Lytocaryum wedellianum" I'm nearly sure used by labeled Dypsis crinita/fibrosus (can't remember which one, but one of the "hairy" Dypsis). I think it's a Dypsis, the leaflets are too wide to be Lytocaryum. What do the others think. Also, if Jay is reading this, the Chamaedorea tepejilote in the photo is the one that I think is a true clumper. Is there any way to tell for sure?

Matt in SD Posted August 24, 2006 Report Share Posted August 24, 2006 Hmmm...it loooks hairy in the photo. But of course I could be wrong. I haven't seen a Lytocaryum that size before. I just looked at Lytocaryuma nd Dypsis fibrosus photos as PACSOA and it is kind of odd how similar looking they are! As far as I know they are not even close to being related in any way.

Joe palma Posted August 25, 2006 Report Share Posted August 25, 2006 Good catch Matt in SD, that labeled L. weddellianum is definitely NOT one. Your guess was the same as mine, that it is a Dypsis and probably crinita. The leaves are wider then Lyto and nowhere near as green. Frond is overall bigger as well. I had mentioned this to the staff member on duty the last time I was there and she took note. I beleive that had the label of Vonitra or Voanioala something or other at one time. Also, there is a Chamaedorea arenbergiana (I think that was what it was labeled) that is really a C. klotzschiana. Looking at the brighter picture of the C. tepejilote (thanks Dave) I have to say that it is not the clumping kind. I don't see any shoots coming off the bottom near the roots. Drats! I was hoping we could get Jason some seeds. I will again double check next time I am there. And that's my 2 cents............ Great pics Dave!

Joe palma Posted August 25, 2006 Report Share Posted August 25, 2006 Forgot to mention one other note as to why the feather palm is not a Lytocarium weddellianum, and that is no white underside to the leaflets!

Jeff Searle Posted August 29, 2006 Report Share Posted August 29, 2006 Dave, Thanks for taking the time to post all of your pictures. It's been several years since my visit there, and I really enjoyed walking around. I questioned your pic. also on the Lytocaryum weddellianum. Dosen't look right, the leaves look to big and sprawling out. Also, I was wondering why the Foxtails were growing inside and looked stretched out. Certainly they do well outside in SD, don't they?

Matt in SD Posted August 29, 2006 Report Share Posted August 29, 2006 Jeff, The "Botanical Building" where those photos were taken is actually not really "inside". It is a wood lathe structure, so it certainly filters wind, and is fairly well protected, but it is definitely not like a greenhouse or conservatory. From what I've seen, everything in there will grow outdoors here.
