Because of a typo in my order I ended up with quite a few of Chen Yi's
99A-80, which are just up and starting to flower.

As has become almost predictable, there are two quite distinct species/fo=rms
here, both smallish Sinarisaemas, but with entirely different leaflets an=d
inflorescenses.

One has a pale green spathe, a whitish appendage and 13 very narrow leafl=ets.
It resembles  a small form of consanguineum.

The second, much more attractive, has relatively broad, short leaflets, 1=6 in
number, which are so crowded that they overlap. The spathe is greenish-br=own
and the tip of the appendage is not visible.

Neither form has notable "drip tips" on the leaflets, and both have a
moderate extensions of the spathe.

These may get larger as time goes by, but the tubers were all smallish, a=nd
all of the plants up so far are flowering, leading me to think that they =are
relatively mature.

I hope to get some photos in the next day or two and will be happy to sen=d
them on to those interested. Send me a private email if you want them, an=d
I'll give it a try.
