Hi Massimo ,
thanks for observing and joining in to Flowgrow, it's a pleasure to have you here :top: !
I'm apollogising for that mistake in the name, sorry (now I know, why I didn't find you and your site on google :bonk: ).
I'm looking forward very interessted to the informations you can give about this plant, because I too didn't find anything into the www about this type (and I mean: really nothing :shock: , not even a similar description in older books and journals).
By the way: it grows very well (and fast!).
I wish you a nice time,
sorry again,
with best regards,
:bier:

Hello Massimo,

welcome to Flowgrow
Thank You for the informations! So this plant has apparently very narrow leaves, 2 mm or so? How long?
Was the original trade name Eriocaulon sp. "Japan"?
For an ID surely it would be necessary to flower the plant by emersed culture. Who knows if it is an Eriocaulon at all.

Best regards,
Heiko

Hi Massimo :-D,
Tutti said:
"Not only posting when good news,
all his Eriocaulon cinereum had faded away by flowering to death ."
I have a similar problem on your site: everything is in italian and it's hard to understand (even after translating by Babelfish from italian to english :roll: ) but I do my best and it works I think.
Have a nice time,
thanks for your interessting article and your good work :top: .
With best regards,

Hi Lino,

I think that is this :
http://www.a-charming.com/list/a0250.htm

:top: Looks like Massimo's Eriocaulon indeed! So they sell it as "Eriocaulon sp. from Japan". Really not very specific name :wink:
It seems that the arrangement of the leaves is rather like a fan than a rosette. Curious.

"Eriocaulon setaceum Linn from Japan":
http://www.apistoworldhk.com/shop/produ ... ts_id=1751
Might be identical to Massimo's plant.

"Eriocaulon setaceum" is apparently erroneous, true E. setaceum is a stem plant with dense cover of hair-like leaves.

Hi Heiko,
thanks for research, did you see my article?
well, i think that plant is same species, name is incorrect, E. setaceum is another plants.

the plant's structure is different to generic Eriocaulon sp., no Rosette but rizome with "equitant" leaves, very inusual for this genus.

@Matz
many thanks for tranlsation German is very hard language
It's very difficult search good translator man in Italy, i have a friend but he is has many many work (he is agronomist doctor).
I hope that article will be translate soon.

Rgds,

Hallo Ihr :-D,
anbei mal ein Bild, auf dem man (hoffentlich :roll: ) erkennen kann, wie die neue E. sp. gewachsen ist. Alles, was so ein wenig hellgrüner erscheint, sind neue Blätter (etwa 6 Stück bislang).
Wenn das so weitergeht, würde ich die schon fast nicht mehr unter langsam/mittelschnell wachsend einordnen.


Bin mal gespannt.
Ich wünsche noch einen schönen Tag,
bis bald,
:bier:

english version:
Hello all ,
on the attached picture you can (hopefully :roll: ) see that the new E.sp. "Japan Needle Leaf" had become about 6 new leaves (since I received it from Massimo, 17.02.11).
The new ones look a bit "brighter"-green than the old ones.
If growing goes on like this I wouldn't call it slow/middlefast :wink: ?!
Have a nice time,
regards,
:bier:

Hallo,

@Tutti.
Tut mir sehr für Dich und um die Pflanzen. Wo mir die Eriocaulen doch so ans Herz gewachsen sind kann ich verstehen wenn man traurig ist, wenn sie alle wegsterben. Sind ja auch tolle Blickfänger für's scapen.

Mir ist als hätte ich mal irgendwo gelesen, das die E. sp. Cinerum nur einjahrig sind. evtl. müßte man mal versuchen ein paar Blüten zu bestäuben und die Samen aussähen.

Gruß Thilo

Yes, Eriocaulon cinereum is an annual plant and usually after flowering the plant dies
