Weldenia is not a monotypic genus because there are TWO species of
Weldenia. The one that is more commonly available is Weldenia candida. I
forget what the other species is called, but I will look it up. The other
species grows only near the Guatemala/Mexico border. If you need
cultivation information I can probably help you out. I'll wager I'm the
only person on this list who has seen the plant growing in its natural
environment. (I'm the guy who made the wiki page for Weldenia.) What
kind
of info do you need?
