Cyclamen autumn/winter 2007

[Paul T]

Tim,

I don't have any good photos, so these will have to do.  There's quite a bit of variation within this colony.  I got them from a friend here in Canberra a few years ago.  Pleny of seedlings germinated this year, but I have yet to get any mature enough to see what variation there is within the seedlings. 





Neither of these pictures are clear, but they show approximately what some of the leaves of mine look like.  If you look at the first photo posted by Kees there is a lot of resemblance to the leaves in my second photo?  My leaves appear somewhat glossier though (something I hadn't recalled until seeing my pic).  I'll keep looking and see whether there are any more pics of mine that I have taken?

  At first I wish happy new years to everybody.
I just see Kees's Cyclamen. That is 'Cyclamen trochopteranthum'  O. Schwarz* (from Denizli & Muğla region recorded) spring flowering species. And the leaves also look quite simmiler.
Kees! sorry I'm too late.

Ibrahim, Cyclamen alpinum has been accepted as the new name for Cyclamen trochopterantum. The debate about whether or not the name change should have happened in the first place still goes on. At least writing labels out is quicker now...:-)

Hi Paul,

I just saw your message. The leaves were quite small, much smaller than libanaticum. I'm convinced it is alpinum (syn. trochopteranthum).

I figured they probably were as we were talking coum, but the similarities to my libanoticum were enough to mention at the very least.
