Nomocharis seed wanted

[Longma]

Try this one for another selection of pictures. Either it is very variable or there is some odd identification

Thanks for that Tony. Seems like the name has been applied to very different plants here,  . The leaf arrangements for one seem to be quite different. Seems like one to be wary of, if advertised for sale 

Jan,
I would have thought you would have a fairly good chance with Nomocharis in your area. What seems to be going wrong?

I see those pictures were contributed by Arisaema who if the same person has posted on the SRGC site and who has moved to live in China. There are some other pictures on his facebook page

Tony, I think that is another "arisaema" - another SRGC Forumist, who usually uses that as his ID, but changes to "cardamine" on the SRGC is heavily involved in such websites, and I think those photos may be his.
He said this on the SRGC site : I always use arisaema as my userID on websites, the same with a hero member here ( on srgc). Indeed, a hyperlink in his post gave me the clue leading me to this forum, and then I was coming. This is interesting, but I have to choose another userID here :

I have a gallery on nature-museum website, more then 100,000 photos and nearly 4,000 species. Please aware about the username is arisaema

RE: Nomocharis basilissa - this ( follow link)  is what we  flowered  from seed called that in 2003 --- not the right thing- weep, sob!

User name Arisaema...

You just never know.
  A few years ago when I tried to make a Yahoo email account with "Leftwood", it was already taken, too!

[McDonough]

User account names on mail domains are much harder to get, because they typically have millions upon millions of accounts, unlike a smaller forum like NARGS or SRGC, where the number of account names is merely in the thousands.

good job I hedged my bets by saying 'if'

It is a super website he has. I think getting a good red one is going to be very difficult and could cause much heartache after years of growing from seed. I wonder if there has only ever been one true red and that was an abberation.

Tony - I've just written something about this for the AGS website next year. The red Nomocharis was seen by Farrer in Upper Burma, and introduced at least once because Wilkie refers to it growing in one garden, but doesn't specify where. So it does seem as if there is at least a population of this colour, even if there is variation. Cox, in his book 'Plant Hunting in China' also mentions it with reference to Farrer (who he knew and had collected with in similar regions) but climatically this was a difficult area to travel and collect plants. Wilkie describes it as allied to N. meleagrina.
