Product information "Hydnophytum spec. D (spathulatum group, Moluccas)"
A whole series of extremely interesting and attractive Hydnophytum species have been found in the Moluccas in recent years, all of which fit roughly into the concept of Hydnophytum spathulatum.
In the end, I think the whole group around Hydnophytum ovatum (which also includes H. spathulatum) should be revised in order to clarify the situation.
Unfortunately, the exact origin of many collections is unclear.
This species is extremely peculiar. The caudex of older plants is very finely ribbed, almost black and the shoot is strongly winged. In younger plants, fine warts predominate on the caudex.
The berries are very small.
The leaves have extremely fine velvety pubescence.
I think this is one of the most interesting species to come into cultivation recently.
