Ephemeral

The end of the old year .... the economic uncertainty and the political assasination really weighs down....very distant yet it will in someway bite you.

A short-lived gesneriad (of African Violet Family) from the limestone of Vietnam - Chirita caliginosa aff. Members of this tropical Microchirita Section appear to be omnipresent in limestones of the mainland - having seen them in Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam.

Hi,

Your pictures of the native flora in Sarawak is fabulous.
I wonder if its possible to find some Dossinia sp. from the available nurseries and get them back to the peninsula..

Many private collectors here have this for exchange. If you want to part with your $$ - try these:

For flasks, try the Australian Burleigh Park

For plants, try Auyong's nursery (maybe documentation easier for you).
