Pinanga id needed

[John hovancsek]

I was given these yesterday and they were going to be trashed because of no id. They were in 4 in pot and so I put them into 1gal pots. Does anyone know what they are

Great deal on a couple 'Noids'.

Anyway to reduce the number of possibilities besides the list of species in recent cultivation? Have they been grown with that fertilizer or was it recently added? Wondering if the color is normal or it may be a bit pale.

A first thought that struck me was Pinanga sobolifera, as I have seen specimens of that size and they has similar features: the light leaf bases, pink new leaves, the S-curve leaflets and the bit of wine color on the newer petioles. See if it gets thin stems or not as it grows into a thick clump, or not.

I would have bought them and you got them for free... good job saving them from the trash.

I work for Jeff at florabunda and he is really good to me. I wish I could narrow it down but there are so many pinanga species on the property and he didn’t know what they were either however I am going to label them sobolifera until otherwise. Thanks Ryan

At first I thought maybe they could be pinanga species yellow-crowned shaft which I am growing until I noticed the red New Leaf which mine has not exhibited yet so maybe they are just some anemic looking pinanga kuhili that need some love . Just a thought either way great score cheers

Pinanga sp. 'Blue Seed' would be my guess.
