Answer
Dear Robert,

I am not sure if there is a question here. You may be correct, but it would have to be a Pachypodium geayi. Although the leaves still aren't that long. I have a 4 foot tall Pachypodium geayi and the leaves might be 1 1/2 feet long at the longest. P. Lamerei does not have leaves even aproaching the lenght mentioned.

Thanks,

Greg
