Dear All,
Rob Hamilton forwarded this info on Rauhia which was originally sent to
the IBS list by Alan Meerow.
"I'm pretty sure that I posted pics of Rauhia on the IBS gallery.
All Rauhias have green flowers. 2 spp. look like green Phaedranassas,
one
(R. decora) like a green Eucrosia but without staminal cup or nectar
glands
at the base of the stamens.
They come from seasonally dry inter-Andean valleys along the Maranon and
Utcubamba drainages at intermediate elevations. Dry them off in winter;
they usually spontaneously begin active growth in spring. Gritty mix is
good."
And Alberto Castillo passed on this info.
"As for the Rauhia it
comes from a tropical part of Peru and probably needs hot conditions even
during their dry winter dormancy."
