I just want to see if I'm right: C. Ciliata.

**hwchoy** · 25th Mar 2006, 21:19

mmm… considering the veins, I say C. griffithii

**XnSdVd** · 25th Mar 2006, 21:22

I'll let y'all know tomorrow if it's completely melted

Then we'll know it's griffithii

The vein looks like the china crypt.

Cheers

but not the leaves.

**lorba** · 26th Mar 2006, 17:20

it could well be wendtii tropica. Where did you get the plant from, might give a better clue.

I second that. It looks more like a wendtii.

ck

**seed75** · 26th Mar 2006, 18:54

looks like C.wendtii to me...

**cherabin** · 26th Mar 2006, 19:58

Neither of the stated. Would say it's C wendtii (tropical) too.

**XnSdVd** · 26th Mar 2006, 20:45

Well damn. Is wenditi supposed to be in a local stream? That's essentially where i found it. Pretty far up too. So i doubt someone tossed it out his window...

**lorba** · 26th Mar 2006, 20:48

if its where i think you collected it, it could be any sp, not limiting to local.

griffithii has several growth form in the few locations that i observed tho.

**XnSdVd** · 26th Mar 2006, 21:25

So cryptyman, what causes the different growth forms? nutrients?

**lorba** · 26th Mar 2006, 21:27

Environment factor in general. temperature, soil composition, light intensity, water temperature, flow rate etc.

**XnSdVd** · 26th Mar 2006, 21:31

lol right then. As for where i collected it.. erm... you were there in 2003 with simon and a few others. past the concrete bridge.

**seed75** · 27th Mar 2006, 01:46

U mean you had collected those specimen in Singapore... Interesting

**ecoculturesg** · 27th Mar 2006, 04:11

There is more than just local griffithii.. there is ciliata, ponterderiifolia, lingua and perhaps wendtii i have seen too. Yours could be griffithii Shannon.

**XnSdVd** · 27th Mar 2006, 04:13

Which is the problem.. I have no idea what I'm looking at half the time. Ok, 99% of the time i can't tell one crypt from the other

BTW did you get my sms just now?

A little out of topic, sorry guys. Yes, i did.. no worries. Anyway it is not easy to id crypts unless you could see the spathe. But of course there are certain spp that you could definitely tell them apart.

**seed75** · 28th Mar 2006, 06:43

cool... bro

Think you should organised some field trip lesson in Singapore. Maybe a registering fee for engaging you to be the guru ya
