Elleanthus archilae 'Katerin' CHM 2025-04-28

Posted on April 28, 2025

Finding
SITF confirms this plant as Elleanthus archilae (May 2025). Based on Richardiana, Vol. 2, "A New Species of Elleanthus from Central America" with photos of archilae and E. hymenophorus, a similar species. The inflorescence on E. hymenophorus appears much longer than does E. archilae and is described as linear-oblong. This plant looks much closer to the E. archilae pictured in Richardiana than does E. hymenophorus. The distinctive colour on the reverse of the leaves also fits E. archilae.
