Is ZZ Oscura different from Raven? I picked up a little guy today, but I’m not seeing this specific type in the Planta database.

I believe it the same as the raven!

I’m wondering if it’s that game that cultivators play with names to get around copyright infringement

#### Katie respondió el 2024-03-24

Ah, interesting…thanks.

This is very likely the case. I’m relatively certain Costa Farms still owns the patent for Raven ZZ, so if a major retailer tries to use that name and they didn’t source the plant from Costa, they could get sued.
