So what do the other Paris cotyledons look like?
After the appearance of the cotyledon, can I then also assume that subsequent cold will again be required before the first leaf appears?
Hi all,The genus Paris is divided in 4 sections. One of them is the section 'Paris' with species as P. quadrifolia, incompleta, verticillata, bashanensis and tetraphylla. They all have slender branching rhizomes, axile placentation and a non-dehiscent berry. When sown they germinate after 2 years. As Göte said, the cotyledons of P. quadrifolia ressemble those of Trillium.Paris quadrifolia cotyledonsParis incompleta cotyledonsTrillium chloropetalum cotyledons
Göte,I went back to see your picture of Paris hexaphylla in the thread 'flowering now - may 2009' reply 37 (http://www.srgc.org.uk/smf/index.php?topic=3510.msg91133#msg91133). I read somewhere that P. hexaphylla is a synonym for P. verticillata and it certainly looks like verticillata.regards,Robin
