Default Re: Not a Saba

Its definitely not Saba. Ones with red undersides that come to my mind right now are the Iholenas and Mysore, there are others with red too though, but its a pretty unique characteristic. I remember Iholena has having rounded leaf bases, though this could become more apparent with age. I wish I had my ID guide with me, but I left it back in HI for the summer, oh well.
