Hi Marty,

I waited to reply until I had checked this out with a botanist who has
studied rhapis and was told
'many rhapis specie originate from this part of the world! To say that
this is a new specie is misleading as it displays characteristics that
are similar if not the same to other specie like gracilis, micanthra
and/or laosensis.
Have you seen it? I couldn't find a picture of it anywhere.

Regards

Leonid V.Averyanov (komarov bot institute.
and
Nguyen Tien Hiep, Phan Ke Loc of ( institute of ecoligy and biological
resources of veitnam academy of science and tec)

hi marty ,

I went to the IPS web site and found the article. I guess I'll have to
join to read it!
I hope you find it in Aus. Is it a miniature like the rhapis
indonesia?
