there is this corrected note explaining that the
Rhodophiala granatiflora in BX 170 was really Rhodophiala bifida....
Thank you for the Wiki upload instructions and for this information.

The BX are collated as three pdf files here....
Thank you, that's a good resource. But, that's not nearly as educational
as browsing through old messages!

...The size of the plant is moderate to small. You can see the
pot in one of the photos on the wiki. It measures 4" across.
Also, the leaves are thin. Another possibility would be H.
blossfeldiae, which is a bigger plant and has thicker, more
leathery leaves. Let's see a photo first before I take any
more guesses.
Thanks. I don't think my plant is fully grown yet. I have already posted
my flower photo to the mystery page. I will need to take some leaf photos
when the sun is out tomorrow and upload. The leaves feel like hybrid Hipps
so I doubt H. blossfeldiae.
If it eventually winds up offsetting like crazy, as it's supposed to, I'll
plan on sending them to Dell. If my puppies don't get there first.
