Diese sind besonders wichtig, zumal da Sie das Colorit notirt haben. Würde es möglich sein, von einigen auch reife Frucht-Exemplare zu erhalten, wodurch die Charactere noch besser festgestellt werden könnten.

These are particularly important, especially as you noted the colour. Would it be possible to obtain ripe fruiting specimens as well of some of them, as this would facilitate the determination of the characters even better.

Tylophora

Nymphaea tetragona Georgi.

Bisher kannten wir diese Art innerhalb der Tropen nur aus hohen Gebirgswässern. Ihre Art mit gezähnten Blättern ist N. gigantea; die andere N. stellata. Sie werden finden, dass auch die reifen Samen von allen dreien verschieden sind. Die rothen Varietäten sind bisher sehr wenig in Cultur

Until now we knew this species only from high altitude mountain waters within the tropics. Your species with dentate leaves is N. gigantea, the other one N. stellata. You will find that the ripe seeds of all three differ from each other as well. So far the red varieties are found very rarely in culture
