- Note (10835): Uncle Derek (2013-02-27) - I am confused. T limonensis is supposed to have yellow/green petals and a pendant inflorescence. Could this be a single spike T. fragrans? (Sent: brom-l@science.uu.nl)
- Note (10835): Eric Gouda (2013-02-27) - Looks like fragrans! (Sent: brom-l@science.uu.nl)
- Note (10835): Peter Tristram (2013-03-06) - Not limonensis. Agree- looks like a single-spiked fragrans. (Sent: brom-l@science.uu.nl)
- Note (10835): Jeffrey Kent (2013-07-31) - Absolutely T. fragrans. It's way out of its normal range at this altitude and is struggling to survive! T. limonensis is also found at a higher altitude as well; usually 1500 meters.
I guess if the forest is cut, the wind will carry the seeds everywhere! (Sent: brom-l@science.uu.nl)
