Steve,I am not that expirienced as Pete, but this looks very familiar to me. We have one huge plant in the HBV (Vienna-University / Botanical Garden), - maybe the only one in Europe, -and I am priveleged to cut it back each year (to make use of the cuttings). I trade this plant commercially in different sizes (leaf blades up to two meters - 6 ft - long and 1 meter - 3 ft- wide). I once had wrongly identified it as Epipremnum pinnatum, which I do know from Australian rainforests. But finally I have learned through Peter that it only can be Raphidophora decursiva. If that is in doubt or wrong, please let me know! Thanks!Helmut ReisenbergerVienna, Austria

Pete, if you're out there I'm going to aim this at you since I
suspect this is a SE Asian aroid. Anyone is more than welcome to offer an ID.This cutting was given to me about a year ago but had no tag. The blade measures 35cm or just over 1 foot and is subcoriaceous, glossy on the upper surface and matte on the abaxial surface. The petioles are terete (round). I'm including a photo of the stem. Any ideas what this might be?Thanks!Steve Lucaswww.ExoticRainforest.com_______________________________________________ Aroid-L mailing list Aroid-L@www.gizmoworks.com http://www.gizmoworks.com/mailman/listinfo/aroid-l
