Re: [Aroid-l] Alocasia Amazonica and Alocasia x Amazonica

From: "Marek Argent" <abri1973 at wp.pl> on 2009.11.18 at 03:43:59 Hi Steve,   The Alocasia cultivar is named 'Polly' not 'Poly', with this name I saw it for the first time about 2000 and it seems to be correct, though there's neither 'Poly' not 'Polly' in the IAS cultivar database. I know a page created by an unknown person with a photo "borrowed" from my site, He wrote that the cultivar 'Polly' was selected by Denis Rotolante in 1993. http://blogginghouseplants.blogspot.com/2008_03_01_archive.html   A big "?"

My question still remains.  How did Andr=E9 validate a plant hybridized after he died?
