What sorts of things do you want? I have lots of the Docks (linguiform, rigidum, torressae, cucumberinum, both forms of lichenastrum, wasselii) if thats what youre into.

RE: HAVE: Dockrillia Australian Purple Pepper

Have the ones you mentioned except D lichenastrum. Is this the same as D prenticii? I did not know there are 2 forms of it but am definitely interested in both forms.

I have a couple more along the lines of Purple Pepper, Australian Gherking for example. Let me know and I have to do a little digging and I'll let you know all the extra docks I have. excluding the common species which you probably have like cucumerinum.

You motivated me to go outside. 3rd day of 100F, I watered the plants at 6AM, 10AM and 3PM so far, will probably water one more time. The rest of the day I have been hiding in my air conditioned room.

On to the Dockrillas. I have small mounted extra plants of the following 3 hybrids:

Dock Julie Skillicorn (striolata x mortii)
Dock Australian Purple Pepper
D or Dock (?) Australian Sunblessed (Dock dolicophylla x fulginosa)
Dock Dolicophylla 'Medusa' x D teretifolia 'Yellow'

The last 3 have been on eBay recently so may google up.

I'm back inside where I'm going to stay until the evening!

lichenastrum is the larger leaves, prenticii is the smaller leafed one. There are some arguments about species vs form, (the flowers look the same, they might flower different times).

I also have an NOID one I cant find in Lavarack's book.

RE: HAVE: Dockrillia Australian Purple Pepper

I'd be interested in the 2 lichenastrums and the NOID if it's along the same line. Let me know what you want and I'll give you an exact description, number of leaves etc.

Ill take some pictures on Tuesday when I go back to the greenhouses. Id be interested in any of the hybrids. All of the ones I have for trade are nice big chunks on cork.

I can't figure out this digital camera I have so no pictures. My plants are also on bark but they are all small so you may have to downsize yours or we'll do 4 for 3. I'll give you an exact description tomorrow.
