Hi Mark,
Man, first, it's Frank getting the variegated seedling from Thailand and now it's you. You guys sure know how to make me jealous!
His seed source was from Thailand too. I think it is probably the
M/a subsp siamea cos the
M/a subsp malaccensis don't get as far as Bkk. It is found throughout M'sia to Southern Thailand.
I went to South Thailand last month to look for the
M/a subsp siamea but found only the
M/a subsp malaccensis. The only difference between the Thai and the M'sian form is the
color of the flower when I checked with Frank. The M'sian form is
crimson in color whereas the Thai is
bright red.
