Umar Khan sahib I got this Uncarina last year from Abbas Nursery in Model Town, Lahore. I look around for rare plants so when I saw this I knew what it was. I think I got it for Rs 1500. I have not seen it since then. Like you said if one finds something good you should buy it right away since you might never see it again. Khan sahib I will keep an eye out for it. If I see it this summer or monsoon again at Abbas I will let you know. It is an unusual plant since it likes water a lot despite having a caudex! When it's dry the leaves fall, you water it and they rise crisp again. Also incredible flowering power.

KBW. Please PM me your email and I shall try to email you all the pics with names of roses also. Thanks for a wonderful job there.

Uncarinas need to be protected against termites which are attracted towards them.

Thanks of this info! I didn't know that. Will need to be vigilant then. So far so good though.

Really great collection Khan Sb. BTW, this flower https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/q ... bedwebsite is a huge specimen tree in lawrence gardens lahore. I captured it few years back but could not ID it. Is it Uncarina?

[aykhan]

The flowers are remarkably similar. Not sure how tall it can grow. Do you recall the leaves and the caudex?
