    Do you have any more shots of the stipe/stem? It looks like it has a greenish cast through part of the stipe like this Madagascar observation of Tetrapyrgos atrocyanea? Note that the color varies per specimen.

    What do you think? Maybe I'm just seeing things?     Posted 6 years ago, modified 6 years ago

      That's some incredible research, Lisa, thanks! It looks almost identical to me, I wish I had more shots to compare. Posted 6 years ago

        The texture at the top of the stipe is spot on, and there are even specimens with that white "foot"!

          You've convinced me to set it as a tentative species, thanks for pushing through! Posted 6 years ago
