Re: [Aroid-l] Pinellia pedatisecta Rec. Nov. 4,

From: "Marek Argent" <abri1973 at wp.pl> on 2010.06.10 at 19:55:16 Dear Alan,   So probably all two (!) other photos found by google on the web as T. kunmingense (except my plant) are also incorrectly identified. http://www..bensbotanics.co.uk/USERIMAGES/kunming4.jpg http://farm1.static.flickr.com/55/152967203_c96f9a040d.jpg and my plant was identical, the spathe external side was brown, while in the IAS page photos of T. horsfieldii inflorescences vary from green through yellow to olive, no brown form shown, but the spadix looks the same as mine. http://www.aroid.org/genera/speciespage.php?genus=3Dtyphonium&species=3Dhorsfieldii   I see there must be a big mess in the small-tubered aroids sold on auctions and in "rarity" webshops. First I wanted to write to you about a Pinellia bought on an auction as "Typhonium alpinum". Today the first inflorescence opened, I took some photos and I noticed this is the same taxon as your photos of Pinellia ternata 'lanceolate leaf form'. I attach photos of my plant taken today.   I don't doubt this is P. ternata, but for many years I've had a green spathed form with broad leaflets. I wonder how two so different forms of the same species could evolute, don't you think it is a subspecies, a variety or even a cultivar? http://www.wschowa.com/abrimaal/araceum/pinellia/ternata.htm   Marek     ----- Original Message ----- From: Alan Galloway To: Marek Argent ; Discussion of aroids Sent: Thursday, June 10, 2010 8:48 PM Subject: Re: Pinellia pedatisecta Rec.

I had Typhonium kunmingense, and it looked so: http://www.wschowa.com/abrimaal/araceum/typhonium/kunmingense.htm I don't have better photos, the tubers died next season.   Best, Marek Argent   Nie znaleziono virusa w tej wiadomo=B6ci przychodz=B1cej.
