Several of them from this batch of seeds are looking similar -

There is a published paper on Phyllodium pulchellum germination here: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/237019129_Seed_germination_of_two_medicinal_plants_Desmodium_Pulchellum_L_Benth_and_D_Triflorum_L_DC Pretty promising, they got sprouts in 4 days apparently.

Found this cool little guy -

Nice thanks, that's what I was planning to try. I put 5 seeds to soak overnight at the moment, will sow them tomorrow. Any sprouts yet?

So it begins...

An online friend recently went to the Peruvian Amazon and brought back seeds of Banisteriopsis rusbyana, Banisteriopsis muricata and Alicia anisopetala. He sent me a few of each, so far only the B. rusbyana have sprouted. All the info I can find points to B. rusbyana being synonymous with D. cabrerana. I asked him about that and this is what he said: "I believe the original botanical description of diplo cab fits the rusbayana. I know folks in Peru and Brazil that tell me they are different plants. It doesnt help that "chaliponga" can mean many different plants depending on where you are. Check out my post on sept 18th on the Mallachts page, I have photos of the plants in question. Welcome to the 'diploponga' confusion!" Here is a picture of the exact plant the seeds I have were harvested from: And pics from the same trip of a plant he identified as D. cabrerana but didn't bare seeds at the time: Picture of the B. rusbyana seeds & compared to B. caapi var. caupuri seeds: And my seedlings so far, one striking difference is that those have very meaty cotyledons, whereas I don't remember ever seeing cotyledons on caapi.

Got basically 99% variegates on this batch, amazing job from Zelly! -
Little update a week later, it's looking weirder and weirder almost like the non variegated part is trying to munch on the albino part

My Red Indo kratom seedlings are getting some really nice purple fall colors with the end of the season temp drops. Definitely a genetic thing as my other Green Malay, Red Malay, Rifat seedlings and Bumblebee clone didn't do the same.- 6 comments

I grew these from seeds an Aussie member here sent me, they are green with those rusty patches of red. Any idea what type of Khat it could be? -
Thanks a lot PH, they all came from the same seeds so maybe it's just different phenotype expressions.

More pics:

Definitely was helped by cold weather, but my other genetics did not change color at all. Those Red Indo seedlings have always been especially red, here's a pic from last year:

2nd generation Rifat seedling, at about a year and a half old and almost shoulder high for me. New nodes are all coming out with side branches now :) -
Nice, but unfortunately it's not uncommon for us to get -8°C to -10°C in the heart of winter here so I gotta bring them inside.
-
Very nice plant bardo, do you have a pic of the flowers?
-
Nice! First flower of the season? Nothing to do with the previous fruits though, you'll get a fruit from this one in a month or so. I swear if you were to attach a label to end of the season flowers you'd see the fruits you get in spring come from them.
-
Thank you! Yeah I had 12 sprouts out of 20 seeds on those. But on the fricii x koehresii F2 I had only one sprout out of 10, which I grafted.
