[Aroid-l] Mystery Plant

From: Steve at ExoticRainforest.com (ExoticRainforest) on 2008.04.01 at 21:21:44(17281) Thanks again Leland. I'll check TROPICOS. Although not posted yet, I had just asked if the collective vein necessarily had to circle the leaf, your explanation solves that! I always appreciate the input and your personal assistance. Steve +More Dear Steve, Aloha. I just took a quick look in the greenhouse and I found a plant similar to yours. However, it is difficult to make a positive identification based on sterile non-blooming material. First of all, this is an Anthurium...I can see both a geniculum on the petiole and collective vein on the leaf blade. The collective vein does not always go around the entire blade. Sometimes it does not include the back or posterior lobes. This plant resembles Anthurium longipeltatum (Matuda). From Oaxaca , Mexico. This is assuming my plant came with the correct identification, but I checked Tropicos and it fits. Now you need to bloom this plant to see if it comes close. This sort of identification is very tentative as many plants share the characters that your photo reveals. Aloha, Leland -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
