Alocasia cormels

From: CDANIELLE <CDANIELLE at prodigy.net> on 1997.09.21 at 23:56:42(1288) Hello all, I just repotted my Alocasia micholitziana 'Frydek' (no not the variegated one) and have a few cormels from it to give or hopefully trade. I have a few questions about this plant so please read on even if your not interested in getting one. I'm only calling it A. Frydek because it looks exactly like a picture on Lester Kallus's web page which he has labled so, the picture's URL is http://www.i2.i-2000.com/~lkallus/aroids/micheli.htm Another picture of a very similar looking plant can be seen at (Krzysztof Kozminski's pic) http://ng.netgate.net/~kk/Araceae/Alocasia/Green_Velvet.html this one is labled A. 'Green Velvet'. Mine was only labled A. micholitziana, but I'm told it's not and I've seen pictures that seem to confirm that it isn't. What should I call it? Would it be best to wait to send the cormels until it gets warmer (the nights are getting pretty cold around here). Am I corect in calling the tuber-like organs cormels? +More Forgive me for getting so excited over this supposedly common plant, (I have yet to see it at any common place around here- Home Depot etc.) It's just that this is the first Aroid I have been able to offer for trade or to give away; I have received my share of freebies via internet should someone want this plant and have nothing to trade I'll be more than happy to share.
