The seeds available from NARGS this year were donated by a member in
Tasmania, who also donated them last year. I've checked back a few
years in a couple of seed exchanges. Prior to last year, none were
offered. None also from other lists I looked at. I didn't dig out
my old SIGNA lists, which might offer it.
Either it is not grown by many people or doesn't set seed.
It is odd that seeds are offered in club exchanges that have been
wild-collected in many places that would seem much more difficult to
get to than Mexico, including some from Chile and Mt. Kinabalu this
year, but I do not recall any from Mexico, and I have participated in
seed exchanges for a very long time.
