Is this Odora

lagrange, GA(Zone 7a)

I went to the Ga. swap last year and brought back an ee that I have labeled Odora. When I started to put it in the basement over the winter I noticed there was more than one. I had 5 pots and I think one is Odora but the other four is not as large as this one and doesn't look the same at all. Here is the picture of the largest that does look like the Odora that I find on the net.
I will post a picture of the ones that don't look the same later. I will have to take a photo.
But is this Odora in the attached photo.

It will be close to impossible to find out it that is odora for sometime. Odora usually has a bit more a tear drop shape to the leaf than macrorrhiza and other similar forms. The main problem is most all forms have this tear drop looking leaf when young. It will be easier to determine once it has some good size to it odora will usually get very big. In most cases it ends up being Macrorrhiza or Gageana both of which are fairly common. I would not buy a odor from most people unless they know what they are talking about. To tell the truth I have only seen it a handful of times of the years I have collected.

Thanks for the information. It was given to me and was labeled Odora. Probably someone from Fl. at the roundup.
Thanks again. I guess it will be wait and see.
