I'll say Nene

 

[Kimmer]

Shakas may be right. This has been an interesting chance to study.
So what would we normally know this kava as?
Fig. 6.1. Rahmwanger from Pohnpei, FSM, is distinguished by its bright green color and the fact that its spots fade as the plant ages.

Are spots dependent on variety? Cause kumakua has similar structure but far less spots typically. I don't know shit so don't know why I'm involving myself....haha

 

[Kimmer]

google awabook-web parts 1 and 2. lots of information there

 

[Kimmer]

I think there were some replies on the other thread. I know @Blippy5 also went with Nene. Not sure who else spoke up on the other thread.

 

[Blippy5]

@Kimmer thats because it was clearly the proper thread. This one is a poor duplicate

Edit: oh it looks like the other one was deleted. Yes I said nene.

I was thinking since I know this might be a hard one, since the first 2 contests were so easy so I will say this, it is not Nene.
Keep up the good guess's, aloha.

[Blippy5]

[steevy66]
