Yes Brian=2C I remember your visits very well about 20 years ago. The plant you and I remember could have been 'Lasia' spinosa...having thick stem with long=2C spiny leafstalk and =3B variable=2C motte=2C green leaf with spines beneath=2C arrowshape=2C later with laterol lobes=2C recurved. =3B I had just returned from plant gathering trips to Panama=2C Costa Rica=2C and Honduras. I remember selling (wild collected) unknown plants that year to Glasshouse Works in Ohio. One was a undescribed(very tiny) Hamalomena with a red =3B velvet leaf back=2C so it might have went there also. I remembered remarking that it looked like a philodendron with spines during your visit....................Secondly=2C you mentioned seeing a "drooping leaf selloum" similar to mine in other collections. =3B If you read my posts on tropicshere.com.........you may get the =3B origin of the plant and the complete history dating back to the first half of the twentieth century............Robert Chumley
