Hi Paul,
I am reading with interest your logs. And I realised yust now that I have a picture from the Botanical Garden of Pécs (Hungary) with a plant which name was no labelled there. But now I think this is a Massonia (maybe pustulata?). What do you think, please?

Hi Katherine,
I see Hans has already answered your question and I agree with his identification. And a note to Hans about the private discussuion we were having about the identity of some Massonias - we have decided to send pictures to Alison Summerfield if we can (she wrote the original paper about the DNA work on Massonias) to get her opinion.
