I also have an A. littoralis and the leaves are almost identical, but the flowers are dramatically different plus the littoralis is a climber. The flowers in this image are quite small...with just a hint of stinkyness. I thought perhaps it might be some type of fibriata but don't know and don't find a photo of a fibriata flower that matches...also the leaves are not white veined. Already there is a caterpillar which is similar to the Battus polydamas caterpillars, but not quite. i looked extensively and am coming up empty. I am in southwestern Mexico. Any ideas? Thanks! |
