It is scary the prospect of losing an entire species of nep. Hopefully enthusiasts and scientists will at least manage to keep them alive in cultivation.

Thanks Naj for sharing.

[David]

Very informative Naj. Thanks for sharing.

And how many neps do we have in our gardens which are coded EN, EW,EX or CR ? Hmmm.....i have two or three....used to have even more....

[David]

Eh, I just noticed the list does not have N. globosa. My precious "viking". How come? I though the plants were almost extinct when the tsunami hit the shores of Thialand a couple of years ago.

The whole island where vikings grew were imerged with sea water. I read somewhere there were only a few plants left in that location. The rest died as the soil became too salty. Salt water crystalised under the sun.

You will be very, very popular if u have a nep that is categorized as EX ;D

eh, ya la.. is it a species or a hybrid?

[David]

Eh, why authorities come after me? As far as I am concern, I bought it from a nursery that told me it was nursery grown. It came with CITES cert too. That's why together with the postage, it cost me RM300 ++

It's a species. Been wanting this fella for sooooooo long, until end last year I just could not wait anymore and bought it. You can see more of them on Neofarm website. The link is on the "Where to get what" archive. This was the nursery I bought from. They also tissue culture now. The owner Mr. Nong is a very nice guy.

David : i didn`t mean YOU as in YOU David.....jus t a general you in response to Naj`s statement, especially for folks who took them illegally. Chill......

*smile*

Hmm, perhaps the species that i have, which is nearest to the EX category is N. Bellii (EN) and N. Bicalcarata (VU). Would really wanted to own N. Campanulata, which was once thought to be extinct (due to forest burn) until recently was discovered back by Chi'en Lee..
