Hi all,

I recently obtained a very small cutting of a plant that was identified to
me as Ludisia nigra. The leaf (I told you it was a very small cutting) is
very dark, and instead of the typical veining, only the central vein is
silvery. I did a Google search on it and the only relevant posts were
GardenWeb messages of someone asking for a source for either "Ludisia
nigra" or "Ludisia discolor Nigra". Does anyone here have any more
information?

It's likely Ludisia discolor "Nigrescens". See
http://home.att.net/~a.j.calisi/plants.html and
http://www.tropicalexotica.com/jewel2.htm

Also, don't miss Ludisia discolor "Super Veination" on the second link
above.
