Did you know that Hawaiian Baby Woodrose seeds can be genuine or counterfeit?
While searching for suppliers, the person in charge has also repeatedly fallen victim to scams from overseas.
Many overseas users on Reddit say such cases are commonplace.
Most people cannot accurately distinguish genuine seeds from substitutes, and online shopping prevents direct inspection, so these scams recur.
The seeds often sold fraudulently as substitutes
are actually those of Thespesia populnea, known in Chinese as 恆春黃槿 (also called 楊葉肖槿, 截萼黃槿, 繖楊 and 桐棉).
This plant occurs in subtropical regions around the world.
In Taiwan it occurs mainly along the tropical coast of the Hengchun Peninsula, but Taiwan’s Thespesia populnea is already on the brink of extinction.
Recurrence Herb Lab’s followers are not limited to Taiwan.
Followers in Hong Kong, Malaysia and Japan who plan to buy online should take extra care!
We have summarized four seed characteristics below for reference.
Hawaiian Baby Woodrose · Argyreia Nervosa
: the seeds have more white speckles and a very prominent germination eye; their shape is roughly angular and block-like, and their color is brown.
Thespesia populnea · 恆春黃槿
: the seeds usually have distinctive markings and lack a germination eye; their shape is more rounded, and their color is close to ochre.
