Roberts 22 (= AFGL 4104) is a peculiar proto-planetary nebula. Its central star has spectral type A2Ie. An OH maser was detected by Manchester et al. (1969), indicating that the shell is oxygen-rich. However Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAH) features were observed as well (Allen et al., 1982; Cohen et al., 1993), indicating that carbon rich material is also present. In this poster we present new IR data (images and spectra) of this peculiar star and propose an explanation for this curious behaviour.
