Hi all: Den Wilson remind me i have some pictures of Rhodophiala mendocina from Argentina i would like to share here: http://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/files/… http://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/files/… Rhodophiala page: http://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/index.php/… According to Ravenna (Plant Life, 1970) Rhodophiala mendocina is a plant about 22-30 cm high, that grow in sandy places (as you can see in picture 1-a) in Mendoza and Patagonia. He suspect that R. elwesii can be a subspecies of R. mendocina. The 2 pictures were taken in different places but according to the species cited for Argentina only mendocina or elwesii has 3-5 flowered spathes and yellow flowers. The flowers in picture number 2-a resembles R. andicola one´s but this species produce 1 flowered spathes. Best wishes Germán
