Typhonium pedunculatum

From: MJ Hatfield oneota at ames.net> on 1999.12.13 at 14:49:35(3936) My Typhonium pedunculatum is going dormant. How should I treat it now? Thanks. MJ Hatfield

From: Victor Soukup soukupvg at email.uc.edu> on 1999.12.15 at 14:58:53(3955) Like MJ, I bought a plant of Typhonium "pedunculatum"at the IAS meeting. It was one of a group of various plants which John Banta brought to the meeting (if I am wrong please correct me) and on returning home I tried to place this name in the proper place within Typhonium. Typhonium pedunculatum is not among the species which Sriboonma and Murata accepted in their revision of the genus five years ago. Therefore, what is it: a newly described species or an obscure synonym, or--? I wrote to John and put the question to him some while ago and have not had a response. Since I have a vital interest in the genus, I would appreciate whatever info anyone can supply about this plant. Based on the response from Wilbert, I assume that he considers it a "good" species. I want to include it as one of the species to be examined in a molecular study of the genus, but only if we know something about it. Thenks for any help anyone can provide.

He has many priorities besides our desire to pick his brain, all be it one of the most knowledgeable around. Give him time and with luck he will come through. Send him a note and tell him that he will be inundated by mail and phone messages from Aroid L if he does not get on the stick and furthermore tell him that Betsy told you to do it. Is that taking responsibility for rabble rousing or not? Good luck! Betsy

Yours trule is going to do that, but the manuscript isn't finished. There will be a publication, maybe in one of the next Aroideana issues, with several new Typhonium species. John asked me in St. Louis, if he could use the name already and I said o.k. There's a thin line between what's wise and what isn't in such circumstances but I decided that everyone buyng the thing would be helped in already having a name attached to it, that is going to be the right one anyway. I have scans of the plant in flower, so if anyone wants to have that in his/her email, let me know (I hope only a FEW!!!!).

Because I plan on using it in our study, I would appreciate learning more about it, its placement in which Typhonium section, its habitat and country (exact location, preferably), collector. This is all the type data which I'm sure you will include in a publication, but would appreciate a short note now. Also would very much like a picture (preferably a slide) which I could use in a talk I will be giving in early March on Araceae. It would be nice to show that there is still much to learn in the family. Thanks very much for the info.
