When jean-luc in Belgium received M.yangtse from Tobias Spanner, he then re-named it M.tibet and tissue cultured it.

Toby Spanner was with Martin Gibbons of the Palm centre in London when they discovered M.yangtse in the Yangtse river valley.
Martin Gibbons kept the name M.yangtse.

So you can see were the confusion over the names has come from!

Kev, when your M.yangtse matures it will look like Remko's M.tibet.
I’ve had them both and they are the same plant.
I planted them out last summer because they had become to big to store in the greenhouse for the winter, sadly I lost them both.. P-stem and corm, it was a very bad winter though and I would like to try M.yangtse again one day but next time give it some protection to get it through winter.

Thanks,
Tony
