Hi,
I used the original description by Lecomte for N. geoffrayi and the
and the original description by Macfarlane for N. anamensis.
Geoffrayi has Operculum extus leviter pilosum where as Anamensis has
extus pubescen et punctatum with tomentose inner margin. I don't
have the exact descriptions on me now since I did not think I would
have access to this public library today. The power has been out
for several days due to a wind storm on thursday and I have limited
access when I can find a terminal available. Several other features
matched to the description given by Lecomte, tendril, leaves, ect
but clearly
the plants are related.
Truly,
Tom
