Re: [Aroid-l] I.D.`ing the Anthurium from Jared

From: ExoticRainforest <Steve at exoticrainforest.com> on 2009.01.05 at 01:40:51 Jared, I've been studying a highlymagnified copy of the the photo you posted of "whitelockii" and itappears there may be pubescence (hair) on the petioles.  In a fewspecimens the petioles appear terete (round) but in others some appearto be canaliculate (C shaped).  Can you verify this?  And if possible,closeup photos of the upper and lower surfaces of the blade as well asthe roots and petioles would be of interest. Thanks!

Icould take another and send it, but I won't have a chance until Mondayor Tuesday. The leaves are NOT glossy. They quickly turn coriaceous, it is fairlylarge (I assume a bird's nest Anth.). I will record more specific specs when I have the plant in front of me.This is turning out to be quite the challenge to ID. jared -- ((Expecto Patronum)) Jared R.
