Re: [Aroid-l] Anthurium unknown! - banta

From: "Marek Argent" <abri1973 at wp.pl> on 2010.05.11 at 22:29:23 Hello,   Yes, I wanted to make myself sure, because I have almost an identical plant, the leaves of my specimen are more round, but it is a juvenile plant yet.  http://www.wschowa.com/abrimaal/araceum/anthurium/crystallinum.htm   In the meantime John Criswick sent 2 photos to Aroid-L and it caused the chaos. I dare to send them again. I think that 1890 is A. leuconeurum or a young A. magnificum and 1892 is probably a form of A. clarinervium or a hybrid.   Marek   ----- Original Message ----- From: ExoticRainforest To: Marek Argent Sent: Tuesday, May 11, 2010 11:12 PM Subject: Re: [Aroid-l] Anthurium unknown! - banta The one in the blue link below that you gave me.

I had this plant years ago. It always puzzled me. At the time I was quite interested in the Mexican Anthuriums. especially those with orange berries as they all seemed to hybridize well between each other. I,m not certain where I got the plant originally, but I placed it with the crystallinium and magnificum and forgetti  group, It lacks the strong chordate leaf shape of clarinervium. When I first saw the fruit color (yellow/orange) I realized that this was a great plant for breeding. Never got anything from that plant. The Anthurium pictured should have purple berries, if they are yellow/orange  you have one very special plant.  Good luck, banta My response to Banta: Thanks a bunch John!  The plant was photographed in the Missouri Botanical Garden collection and even though I was there, I never saw it.  Julius was sure you could fill in some info so thanks very much for the input.  I am passing it on to the others who were involved in this discussion.  It is my understanding Tom has identified it as A. crystallinum.   Nie znaleziono virusa w tej wiadomosci przychodzacej.
