why do you want to potentially introduce a plant from the chilean rainforest into texas? there are plenty of interesting plants here already.

I don’t want to do that, but I do want to grow it in a climate controlled growth chamber and study it. It’s a fascinating plant.

Maybe because it is unique, to our knowledge?

Nobody expects it to survive and propagate outdoors.
