I finally have them both and they both have links to the people that introduced them Musa Tibet is from a friend called Chad he got it from kobakoba and koba got it from jean luc in Belgium.
Musa Yangtse is from a friend called peter and he got it from Martin Gibbons,
the provenance of M.yangtse isn’t in question it has been well documented were it came from and the person that collected it but same can’t be said of M.Tibet it has been said by a number of people that yangtse and Tibet are the same plant so the only thing to do is to grow them along side each other.
Then their is also the question as to whether they are Itinerans or Balbisiana and to test them to see how hardy they are.
Although they have been around in Europe for about 10 years I haven’t herd of anyone flowering them so the first couple of pups I get of I will send to anyone that is interested in zone’s 8-9 in Spain or the US only one person though, I think they will have a better chance at flowering them.
