What about P. melanochrysum ?

From: "Michael Pascall" mickpascall at hotmail.com> on 2006.05.17 at 13:37:25(14219) Just browsed the Philo list on our site , P. elongatum is listed .. BUT , my question is ... P andreanum and P. melanochrysum are they one and the same plant ? Both names are listed on the list , the picture of P. melanochrysum looks to be a young P.andreanum... I know how long it takes to get a mature leaf on this sp. a looooong time so maybe this is why immature plants could have been given another name . This plant cannot be the same as the one with the enormous leaves , so lets call it something else .
