Petrocosmea - information needed, please.
Michael J Campbell:
I have this as petrocosmea grandiflora
Maggi Young:
Just heard from Julian Shaw, who sends this link to a Chinese ( translated) article on the confusion with the mis-named P. grandiflora in cultivation......
For the interest of your forum members there is a link to the Chinese centre for Gesneriad conservation with a few images of genuine P. grandiflora http://gccc.gxib.cn/showNews-278.aspx
A photo from that article of the "true" P. grandiflora ...
Julian also says :
Since the last query was so successful, please could I try another one?
Does anyone know anything about the origin of Petrocosmea HT-2 and TT-27 Such as what the letters stand for, who introduced them and how long they have been around?
I think it would be useful to clear up these identities too if we can while we are at it."
I hope forumists will again be able to help!

TT is Tim Tuttle, according to http://www.gesneriads.info/genera/petrocosmea-sp-tt-27/ . The numbers (TT) 27 and 64 sound like they also might be Chen Yi's, I suggest contacting him to ask - or checking her old lists.

Internet Archive saved a copy of her gesneriad lists here.
Maggi Young:
Razvan Chisu grows Petrocosmea rather well - look at this beauty....
Razvan has made these compilation images to help with ID and has agreed that they be shared here - Thanks, Raz!
