Title: Aliciella sedifolia
Post by: Excelsior on April 10, 2014, 08:51:13 PM

I came across this beauty http://cumuseum.colorado.edu/sites/default/files/hogan_article_fall08.pdf (http://cumuseum.colorado.edu/sites/default/files/hogan_article_fall08.pdf)  :o I know its a long shot, but do anyone grow this species or know someone who do?

A real rarity that - and critically endangered, I think, so not likely to be too many growing it.

Due to its rarity, I think it should be distributed to Botanical Gardens at least, as a buffer to its small vulnerable habitat. And its not a con that its a beautiful alpine  ;D
