    My question comes because of this plant. It was labeled fuscata when I ordered/imported from Malala. It is mounted on a 3" cedar plank and as you can see, the leaves are different--much less round and bilobed. And the roots are thicker as well. I don't think this is a spiculata as my spiculata is also quite different from this one. Any thoughts? Obviously we won't know for certain until it blooms -- but this plant is quite different than the umbonata/fuscatas we have been discussing. Thanks!

    You're right, the first one is a fuscata and the second one...maybe a A.monantha, but I am not sur at all...??
