No spines and it is smaller than Gunnera what we used to see in Vancouver. I read name, I would remember Gunnera
I don't know what to say. I think it is from warmer climate, it was in the pot and I felt that I didn't see it before, but I can be wrong. I think it starts with R, if this image can help
It didn't have flower.Leaves have different color, dark underneath. I don't remember, but think they have hairs underneath. Sorry, I cannot say more, but it is near the store for sale, I think if it has a label(which I couldn't photograph properly).
This thread has got confused. The first pic showing the big leaves is not the same plant as the label for Sinocalycanthus raulstonii Hartlage Wine. The leaves are very very different http://www.google.com/search?client...A&biw=1271&bih=633&sei=JoiiUPCFLqiT0QXbx4CoAg
This is definitely not a Gunnera or Astilboides or Darmera. I am with Lila and David in L.A.. Roldana petasites cristobalensis.syn Senecio cristobalensis looks just perfect. "Quote..."
