Rauhia identification?
The Silent Seed via pbs (Wed, 28 Apr 2021 14:44:46 PDT)

It was growing hard in Bob's greenhouse in Florida before I purchased it.
It has put out this same exact leaf shape / length even after bringing it
back to Massachusetts. (In other words, I would have expected it to grow
even taller / more "etiolated" up here after leaving Florida.) That did not
happen.

This is a pet peeve of mine.
Our light levels here in the northeast don't come near the light levels
that one finds near the equator.
If you get me a locale for Rauhia I'll show you the difference between
where they grow and Boston area.
I found a city in Peru near where Rauhia are found, Bagua Grande.
See the attached two charts which are indications of light levels for the
two locations.

Hi Arnold,
I agree it's a Rauhia, and am hoping to get a species name if at all
possible. It has not flowered for me yet.
Even grown hard, in Bob's greenhouse, it was this way; elongated. I've had
it in full sun, and yes, lower light, at different times over the years,
and the leaf is always like this. Maybe that helps identify the species?
Best, Jude

Hi Jude
It looks like a Rauhia, although one that has been grown at low light
levels hence the etiolation..

Hi folks,
Is it possible to identify Rauhia without a flower?
I purchased this at Bob Smoley's greenhouse literally 2 days before he
passed away, so this is a very sentimental plant in my collection. I feel
so fortunate to have met this beautiful soul.
He was telling me that a friend of his collected this plant a long time

ago

- I believe he mentioned Brazil. My memory doesn't serve me in this

regard.

The shape and overall appearance seem pretty distinctive. (The leaf

always

looks like this; tall, and has "fullers" and is glaucous.)
I don't remember it ever having more than one leaf at a time.
If the picture doesn't work for you, let me know, and I can send it
directly.
Thanks in advance, Jude
