Thrixspermum wenzelii

[san]

Hi lanhua,I am sure it's a Thrxspermum. May be Thrixspermum saruwatarii. One or two months later we will get the anwer.
I had ever used the leafstalk of Caryota ochlandra as plantingmaterial to plant my orchid. It's quite good. Now I usually use cork board to mount my orchids. I can see many rochids like to grow on it.

Hi San,

board made of Caryota ochandra is not so robust like cork. I use it as well. As I know, Thrixspermum saruwatari is native to Taiwan. I don't know any report from China.

Hi lanhua,
check the book we mentioned before,and you will find that this species also distributes in Fujian,Hunnan. It is a new record species in Guangdong and Guangxi too!
