The plant received this CBR on October 15, 2010 so it's another one from Florida-Caribbean sitting around because they don't explain to exhibitors what needs to be done.

The center chair is now Jose Exposito and the award number is 20106771.

 

There is no published reference to the name Xylobium dayanum I can find anywhere. I asked the exhibitor where the plant came from and she said she got it from Enrique Graf in Venezuela so I don't know where the reference to Ecuador came from in the description. To me this is Xylobium hyacinthinum from Venezuela.

Here is the key from Foldats, followed by drawings of X. hyacinthinum from both Romero and Foldats and then drawings of X. variegatum from both Romero and Foldats.
