Strange Rhaphidophora

From: "Peter Boyce" p.boyce at rbgkew.org.uk> on 2000.10.02 at 19:52:28(5494) Folks You'll recall that a while back there was a discussion about the odd Rhaphidophora that flowers behind the appressed leaves. While at Fairchild for the IAS Annual, Craig Allen (who's the first person to have flowered it) and myself made fertile herbarium specimens of the Fairchild plant. It's an as yet undescribed species (to be called R. cryptantha - meaning 'hidden flower) that Craig and I are going to describe in a paper on the New Guinea and Pacific Rhaphidophora species to be published in the Garden's Bulletin Singapore early next year.
