Having problems with message search?
Thanks Ruud, that partly explains it. But not growing in the wild applies to species like Dypsis cabadae, not to mention the Gingko tree, and if T.wagnerianus has changed, would not that make it a different species? Perhaps someone has found floral differences or have DNA studies been done? Ian

Trachycarpus wagnerianus does not exist in the wild. It is indeed a form of Trachycarpus fortunei. Probably changed because of growing in a differnt climate.RuudGolden Lotus ,Thailand

Whatever has happened to Trachycarpus wagnerianus? According to the Kew checklist it has become a synonym of T. fortunei and this has been followed by Andrew Henderson in Palms of Southern Asia. But it is still mentioned (in passing) as T. wagnerianus in the last PALMS, in the article on T.takil by Gibbons and Spanner. Who is right? Ian Edwards
