I'm now really curious about how widespread this <i>Stigmaphyllon</i> sp. is. From the way it's growing in this particular disturbed area - bulldozers came through less than a year ago - I would think it is a pioneer plant. Maybe it grows easily under lots of circumstances. Anyway, a search on the internet showed me that several <i>Stigmaphllon</i> sp. are in cultivation although, as far as I know, <i>S. ellipticum</i> is not. Thank you for your interesting observations. Yes, it is a beautiful plant. Michael,

It would frequently be seen winding its way around coffee trees and I often thought I would like to preserve the Stigmaphyllon ellipticum over preserving the coffee tree because they are beautiful plants. I would never have guessed that it was related to the nance, but I'd never looked that close at the nance flowers before. And since one was a vine and the other a tree it never would have occurred to me to see them in the same family. This was a very interesting entry. THANKS!

Thank you. Yes that book on Costa Rican plants is a real aid to me, even though this <i>Stigmaphyllon</i> vine was not in it. Many, many other plants are. I also like very much the Smithsonian book on trees and shrubs, which has the advantage of being bilingual. But it is more expensive and has fewer plants overall. miconia Olmedo,
