Molim za pogledati galeriju slika i obratiti pozornost na Phoenixe
http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.190719774283033.40473.190663237622020Lokacija je Kot Manzarai Baba dolina, Malakand agencija, u Pakistanu. U Pakistanu bi trebali biti autohtoni P. sylvestrisi, no ovi ne izgledaju baš kao sylvestrisi koje sam viđao do sada na netu. Na istoj lokaciji autohtono rastu i Nannorrhopsi. U Pakisatnu se susreću još i canariensisi, dactylifere i Phoenix loureirii. Ovi sa slika rastu dosta visoko iznad doline. Meni izgledaju kao prirodni križanci između P. canariensisa i još nečega sylvestrisa? ili je to samo ekotip sylvestrisa?
