Murple Posted March 8, 2002 Never heard of this species. Any info on it? Any other species in the Tabernanthe genus? I'd always thought iboga was the only species. I'm really interested in hearing about other species (and obtaining plants if possible). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Torsten Posted March 8, 2002 Tabernanthe is a monotypic genus. This is either a variety of Tabernanthe iboga, or more likely Tabernaemontana ventricosa. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest reville Posted March 11, 2002 OK confused The label at Mt Coot-tha says tabernanthe im sure of it as i looked twice to confirm however in the listing of plants in the gardens from 1998 it says tabernaemontana either way it has a striking resemblance to iboga in the leaf and flower There is quite a large shrub there that Gomaos and I found. Maybe you could sponsor him to get you some. Its also flowering now and there are seedlings underneath so... the leaves are nearly dry will report soon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Torsten Posted March 11, 2002 I looked it up and it is tabernaemontana. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gomaos Posted March 12, 2002 i'll be heading that way on thursday, hopefully I'll get some. Just seeds or cuttings as well....? Wish I had the right size backpack, like rev..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Torsten Posted March 13, 2002 Yeah, backpacks are essential. So are sharp secateurs, scalpels, baggies, rubber gloves and sterilising wipes. Pity is, that the more responsible you get about stealing stuff (?!?), the more likely you get busted. yes, I would love some seed. Never mind cuttings. I prefer to just get seed if it is available. No need to damage the plant. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gomaos Posted March 19, 2002 Went there on saturday. Since I wasn't by myself, I couldn't really concentrate on searching and consequently did not find either tabernanthe ventricosa OR anandanthera (spelling i know). Mesqualero, give me a hand and let's go together.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
