this is a TC plant.. But on the subject of the Rob story via Tony, i was speaking to my friend the other day, Ron who when i brought up this story, immediately contacted Rob because one of the macrophylla he ordered from him on an import a number of years ago (3 or 4) looks far more like xTM than macrophylla (smaller, less pronounced teeth, flared peristome, narrow straplike leaves, not true macro traits at all) and Rob said he had never heard of this topic, but it had definitely sparked his interest.... I wonder if Tony got the AW story mixed up and confused with BE? I'm not sure... Maybe if we can get Rob himself to chime in somehow, or maybe break Tony in here and he can shine some more light on the subject
