Title: Staphylea bumalda seeds searched
Post by: Hans J on October 07, 2015, 01:54:45 PM

Hi all .

I looking in this time for seeds of Staphylea bumalda - the Japan bluddernut
It is a big problem because there are many wrong named S.bumalda underway ( thats mostly St. pinnata + St. colchica )
For all who interested for Bluddernuts I have found a good article with all different species
http://arnoldia.arboretum.harvard.edu/pdf/articles/1980-40-2-the-bladdernuts.pdf (http://arnoldia.arboretum.harvard.edu/pdf/articles/1980-40-2-the-bladdernuts.pdf)

Also I enclose a Picture ( from Wikipedia ) of the true St. bumalda
It is good to see the three leaves !( S.pinnata + S.colchica have 5 leaves )

Many well named nurseries sells wrong named plants ...it is really dissapointing
Here is a Picture from my S.pinnata

I could offer Staphylea pinnata seeds for swap - those seeds are collected from a wild growing Population !!!
Also I can send in few weeks seeds of Styray japonicum "Pink Chimes"
Or payment ...
If anybody has seeds for me please send me a PM

Hans

Can't help with seeds, but Michael Gottschalk of Lunaplant (THE German Magnolia specialist) has a list of rare woody plants (Gehölzliste) under
www.lunaplant.de (http://www.lunaplant.de)
or
http://www.lunaplant.de/gehoelzliste-neu.html (http://www.lunaplant.de/gehoelzliste-neu.html)

This includes Staphylea bumalda as a plant of 80 - 100 cm

Have fun, Hans!

Hello Anne ,

many thanks for your Information .
I have heard from this nursery only good things ...
Now I will try to ask for seeds ...maybe I have luck ?
Sowing is much more fun ...and St.bumalda should be easy ...

Hans,

 I have the true thing, but it did not set any seeds this year! I did just see holocarpa in the wild last week in China too with a few pods left on it.

Hi Aaron ,

thank you for your mail .
What a pity that you had no seeds in this year ...I suppose you have only a single plant ?

Do you have Picture from China from S.holocarpa ?

All the best
Hans

No, I did not take a picture ???. Sorry. I found I forgot to take pictures of quite a few things like Dipteronia and some Arisaema! I was mostly picking the capsules up off the ground. Seeds were very limited this late in the season.
