P. jaumavensis v. P. esseriana

  • Thread starter madrone
  • Start date
P. jaumavensis is new to me - just got my plant a few months ago. Before purchasing the plant, I was wondering if I had the space for something that looked to me (from web image searches) to be so similar to the P. esseriana I already owned. Well, on the space-front, it's about as diminutive as P. esseriana, but the blooms were a nice surprise. Similar to the esseriana, but with some attractive purple "veination" in the flower.

To anybody who owns both plants already, this is not news. But, for new ping-people, I hope this comparison is helpful/interesting:

Hi Jeff,

Thanks for your comments. Can you explain a bit more why you think my jaumavensis is a hybrid?
 
Hybrid or not that is a stunning little flower and plant and may have to be added to my collection.
 
Bonjour

the corolla form ; the drawing to the throat and to the "tab" of the lobes , for me do not correspond to the taxon.

I think to esseriana X ? - or x 'Florian' x ?


but maybe I'm wrong ,do you have a good traceability of this taxon

Hi Jeff,

Thanks for the further clarification. I've looked at your picture more and I think I see the differences you are pointing out. It does appear that P. jaumavensis has sub-species/varieties with differing flower characteristics including different petal shapes and markings.

You may very well be correct. I don't have a way to know for sure, but appreciate your insights.

Glad you like it. It's definitely a compact grower with a cheery bloom at this time of year.
