From what I know, there might be a couple more. They'll either have similar flowers or leaves. I'm sure you can find them in the books, but they're far from available in the US.

Hi coffeecup, I suppose those others you are describing would have same ocean wave Tsuke and hime-ba leaf but the flower or roots may be different? It would be interesting to find a plant in this grouping that has stripes or tiger leaf variegation. I bet that plant or plants would be very expensive.

I can't remember, but I believe there are some out there that have both the leaf and connection formation as well as similar flowers. Oonami does have a shima version, and yes, its ridiculously expensive. I'm not sure about the others though. I'm sure its possible.

There are at least 3 more
Neofinetia falcata Seishukukai 星宿海
Neofinetia falcata Itоseikai 絲靑海
Neofinetia falcata Himeseikai 姬靑海 (I have this one, a miniature version of Seikai, very short leaves)

You can see pictures of them in my Neofinetia encyclopedia folder

That is a pretty comprehensive listing s.kallima. But how do you access it? Thank you for adding these names. I'm understanding now that this "family" of Neos all have the same characteristics and have "seikai or Blue Sea" as their nomenclature. Great--another three plants to add to the acquisition list. It would be incredible if there were only seven: The Seven Samurai Fuukirin.

Neofinetia falcata Seishukukai 星宿海 = roughly translated means Star Ocean
Neofinetia falcata Itоseikai 絲靑海 = roughly translated means Silk Blue Sea
Neofinetia falcata Himeseikai 姬靑海 = roughly translated means Hime Blue Sea

My mistake Matt, I just realized that Hime Sekai and Sekai are the same, Hime means it is from seeds, not from divisions.
What is exactly your question about the list?

I clicked on your google link. I can only see thumbnail. When I click on a page it doesn't launch the page. It asks me to sign in.

We need to find a seventh type Seikai!

I notice it denies me access until I log out of my google apps account (which I normally stay logged into, as my personal domain is hosted via google apps).

If I log out of google, I can then access your files just fine. I see that same issue anytime someone provides a link to files hosted on a google drive.

Weird, it was working until now. Have to look at this

[MattWoelfsen]

Good clue Jayfar! I'll log out of Google and the go back in.
