Info

Lobophytum salvati (Tixier-Durivault, 1970)

Many special thanks to Dr. Yukimitsu Imahara, Japan, for his permission to use the photo of Lobophytum salvati.

Lobophytum salvati is morphologically similar to L. pauciflorum (Ehrenberg, 1834) in their thick finger-like lobes. These two species, however, differ from each other in the number of cylinder girdles in stalk interior (four in L. salvati vs. usually two in L. pauciflorum).
