This plant was labelled with what I assume was a cultivar name - 'Gill
Lewis' - but didn't have any indication of what genus or species it belonged to. http://www.stewart.hinsley.me.uk/Images/GillLewis.jpg Does anyone recognise it? -- Stewart Robert Hinsley |

I'd like to have seen the leaves but... Achimenes sp. possibly grandiflora. If so the roots will look like long thin maggots! -- Regards Bob Hobden |

I am in agreement with Bob and Sacha achemines or streptocarpus a picture of the whole plant would clinch it although I would favour achemines as I feel you would have recognised a streptocarpus from its leaves. There are no plants called Gill Lewis in the current plant finder so that is probably the name of the person who raised it to sell it! -- Charlie Pridham, Gardening in Cornwall www.roselandhouse.co.uk Holders of national collections of Clematis viticella cultivars and Lapageria rosea |

There are no plants called Gill Lewis in the current plant finder so that is probably the name of the person who raised it to sell it! The other possibility I had considered was Streptosolen. It was the inflorescence structure that led to it being recorded as 'Gill Lewis', rather than Steptocarpus? 'Gill Lewis'. (Regrettably the photo is fairly old so I don't remember details of the leaves.) The details aren't unambiguously clear, but it appears to have a purely tubular calyx (you can see one sheathing the floral tube of one flower) and an involucre from which from the flowers spring - unless what I'm interpreting as an involucre is a cluster of calyces. That doesn't seem to match the common run of Streptocarpus, Achimenes or Streptosolen, but you can get considerable variation in a genus. Googling for 'Gill Lewis' for each of this genera gives no results - I had hoped that given a genus name Google would confirm the existence of the plant. ("Gill Lewis" alone gives 3000 hits - any needle would be well hidden in the haystack.) -- Stewart Robert Hinsley |

("Gill Lewis" alone gives 3000 hits - any needle would be well hidden in the haystack.) Because I submit entries to the plant finder I have software that allows me to search for whole or part words of all uk available plants so while it may pop up in the 2008 plant finder there is nothing in the 2007, Just Gill gives me 11 but nothing remotely likely, likewise Lewis yields 21 plants but nothing likely. However Mike may have found a plausible source for the plant, at least its plant related, a lot of people selling plants have lables thermal transfere printed with thier name on one side and write the plant name on the other, after a year or to the sellers name is all that remains ( it may be worth following up). I once had a pelargonium with Frank Headly on one side of the lable and Frank Delaney on the other, one turned out to be my mothers neighbour so its easy to see how plants can get rechristened! -- Charlie Pridham, Gardening in Cornwall www.roselandhouse.co.uk Holders of national collections of Clematis viticella cultivars and Lapageria rosea |

(Regrettably the photo is fairly old so I don't remember details of the leaves.) If the little one can see of the leaf belongs to that plant, I don't think it's Streptosolen but it is certainly difficult to tell clearly. I'll see if I can get a clear pic of any of our Streptocarpus leaves and bits.
