E. tenellus

[MdmBudak]

Hello, does anyone know what is E. tenellus called in hokkien or chinese?

Went to ah pek last time and he went [] when I asked if he sells E. tenellus.

BTW, does ah sells E. tenellus in the first place?

Does E. tenellus grow as fast as glosso?

Thanks

Peter, it should be correct.
But this is very chim...taiwanese name...almost close to chinese scientific name...not a street name.

I wonder if Ah Pek or Teo know what it means....(not insulting them hoh...don't shoot me)

Do you have any local street name?

[PeterGwee]

Street name...no idea. A picture speaks a thousand words.. Since he wants a name, I will give it to him.

Thats 'ah pek', you just told him yr looking for E. tenellus?

[vinz]

Well, Teo knows the local chinese common names, the english common names AND the scientific names.

I wonder how pervasive the taiwanese names are among the LFS/farms.

For Ah-Pek, best to bring along coloured pictures to show him.
