Carol and all you other folks that are hazy about H. clemensiorum. Ted Green collected this plant in Western Borneo in late 1980's or early 1990's. He grew it, and it flowered sometime around 1993. He brought cuttings of it to one of our IHA meetings and I was the first to buy one of the cuttings. Ted's the guy that collected it, grew it, named it H. clemensiorum Green, and still has it for sale. I gave a cutting to one of the DG members who responded to my free cumingiana cuttings..just can't remember who it was. I'm sending a photo here from my digital camera but have some better ones (I hope) in my Yashica camera which I use for foliage shots. The veins on this plant are so distinctive that they just can't be confused with any other.
