Bean Leaf Neofinetia (Mameba)

[shakkai]

I thought I would try to make a list of some of the different types of Neos. This one is for the bean leaf types - those that have shorter, thicker, fatter leaves.

(Photos to follow! And I will add in links to individual posts about these plants as threads get added.)

Beniboushi - A mini bean with rasp leaves.
More info: (to follow)

Kirin Maru - Miniature bean leaf.
More info: Neofinetia falcata 'Kiran Maru

Kisei Gyoku - A newer variety of bean leaf.

Kuro Shinjyu (means Black Pearl) - Tiny plant, with much smaller flowers as well.

Kuro Shinjyu (Black Pearl)


Mameba Nishiki - Miniature bean leaf with white, star shaped flowers.
More info: Neo falcata 'Mameba'

Sedai - Medium sized bean leaf, faster growing than some varieties.

Seikai (means Blue Ocean) - Short bean leaf with downward swept leaves. Light pink, unusual form flowers that face upwards and cluster together on the bloom spike.
More info: Seikai, bean leaf type

Suikaden (means Imperial Flag) - Curved bean leaf, with very consistent leaves. Flowers have some green in them.
More info: Neofinetia falcata 'Suikaden' in Erin Pottery!

Tamakongo - Bean leaf with flowers that have a very short spur and a wide, rounded form. Some flowers have pink in them.

Unkai (means Sea of Clouds) - Irregular flowers which are white with a forward facing spur.
More info: Unkai, bean leaf

Yodonomatsu (means Pine of Yodo) - Quite compact bean leaf, smaller than Tamakongo.

Oh, one more....Beniboushi. It's a mini bean with rasp leaves. I can make a new entry for that one later so you can link it to this post.

[shakkai]

Added to the list! I'll add the link in when you have time to post.

Just wanted all the neo groupies to check out these photos....

I don't know the names of any of these but I will find out. Eventually.

I believe the last part of the url thing is the Mandarin pronunciation of the Kanji. So the Japanese name will be different.

That first one seems so incredibly tiny!! I wonder how big it is?

[LinhT]

Not sure, Camille. I'm guessing it may be no bigger than the size of a quarter.

And when you find out. . .you HAVE to report back. Those are both soooo great!

I know the last post was in 2008, but maybe someone can scrounge back into the archives and help me out?
I tried looking at the posted links and they are broken. T-T It was the first time my Neofinetia search sent me to a Korean site and I was heart broken! T^T
If anyone can help me out, I would greatly appreciate it.

Going by the name in the broken URL, it looks like this is the first referenced in the links. (Now i want one...dammit)

Korean name is Guigeumgang or Gugeumgang and the Japanese reading of the name is Kamekongou

My Japanese reference says that it's a Chou-mameba, or Super-beanleaf

Korean Links:

From a couple of the photos however, it seems that the plant may have a propensity to grow long leaves in certain conditions...

I'm not entirely sure that this is the right one, but the name is the same as the second one linked above.

Korean Name: Guhwa
Japanese Name: Kagaribi

Japanese reference says that it's a tiger variegated small leaved variety, but doesn't say anything about being a bean-leaf.
