JMHoff Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 Your review is a very deep and informative reading Francois! Do you know if samples of the plant have been taken at the time of the discovery? As Corky said before: Thanks for sharing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sockhom Posted August 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 Hi JMHoff, Glad you liked the review. What do you mean by 'samples'? The species has been collected at least twice in order to make herbarium materials is that is what you are refering to? This is mandatory in order to publish a description. The samples are then deposited in an herbarium. All the best, François. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMHoff Posted August 19, 2015 Report Share Posted August 19, 2015 Hi Francois! That's what I was wondering. I wasn't sure how the normal procedure with a new species worked and seeing the N. Barcelonae is already in the danger list it seemed more time pressuring to save some plant material. Thanks for the answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gareth Davies Posted August 26, 2015 Report Share Posted August 26, 2015 This species is indeed in cultivation. Some of the people who found it brought back some seeds and sent them to growers. I've got a couple of plants from my portion of seeds, and I'm going to part with one, pm for details. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
