Hi Linda
Although it may not be a valid sub-species...  C. tigris schilderiana is said
to be a variety which grows to a very large size but distinguishes itself by
becoming quite bulbous in form, over large specimens of  C. tigris found from
other parts of the Indo-nonspecific.

have one in the collection; it is labelled from Hawaii, but we have found the
data in this collection to be somewhat sparse and sometimes confusing.
