I have 3 seeds from a "Gas Plant". Dicomus Albus or Putpurea. Don't know which.
These seeds were sent to me by someone I traded with as a "bonus".
They are from 2013.

After reading the member's comments, I decided not to plant it.
Seems this plant exudes some kind of gas up and down it's stem
that will flame up, temporarily, if a match is held near it.
It is a momentary flash and does not harm the plant.

Anyone want to grow these out as a novelty?

Here is the link to DG PF.

I will throw these into the Hodge Podge baggie.

If anyone wants these--LMK now. Gita
