| I actually meant that var formosanum was a smaller plant. See the
| post from Al below. Amablis gets up to a 39" leaf span. The var
| formosanum up to about 20". I just went and measured my var
| formosanum's flowers and they are about just under 3" on a plant with
| a leaf span of 17".

| According to Mr. Christenson's book Phal amabilis var formosana may
| be
| Phal. aphrodite subsp. formosana and the leaf span tops out at about
| 20".
| There is a lot of name confusion between species in some of these
| groups,
| your plant isn't necessarily labeled incorrectly
|
| The numbers for amablis as they are listed in the book are correct.
|
| These plants never read the books and have no idea how they are
| suppose to
| look or act.

| If you find a real error, let me know.
|
|
| 39" leaf span for amabilis?! I thought mine was mature at about 18".
| Perhaps Phal amabilis var. formosana is a smaller form. . .
