Top left hand corner is 8865 I got it directly from Paul Shirley--no clue what it really is
Upper right hand corner is 8864 from another DG'er P.S. has it listed as H. camphorifolia
Lower left hand corner is H. tomataensis (IML 1384) I got it from David Liddle
Lower right hand corner is H. camphorifolia given to me by another DG'er

As you can see the leaves are all almost identical. The 8865 has bloomed as has my H. camphorifloia. Flowers are close but not identical and the 8865 blooms are bigger.

My H. tomataensis has its first peduncle about to open and the 8864 hasn't done anything yet. It's going to be interesting to see just how close the tomataensis is to the others and even more interesting when 8864 blooms. I have a feeling that the 8864 from Paul Shirley is the same as the H. tomataensis from David Liddle.
