GAgirl1066 Blackshear, GA January 17, 2013 4:38 PM Post #9388550	I think it is a nematanthus, also the goldfish/guppie plant.
Vestia San Francisco, CA January 17, 2013 5:55 PM Post #9388616	GAgirl: you may well be right; I have never been able to understand the separation between Nematanthus and Hypocyrta. edited to say: RHS and Mabberley say Hypocyrta is now Nematanthus. I'll have to delete that name from the neurons. This message was edited Jan 17, 2013 7:01 PM
