Typhonium id.

From: piaba piabinha at yahoo.com> on 2003.08.29 at 18:28:49(10538) before i start, i must prostrate at the altar of his lordiness, almighty wilbert of leiden, and beg for forgiveness... +More some time ago, i had received from his royal lordiness in leiden some tiny tubers of a round-leafed, small Typhonium species, which grew for a while and then went dormant. since i didn't find any tubers in the pot, i gave up on it and re-used the pot for something else, losing the tag in the process. now months and months later, it's sprouted again, living in the pot with its new neighbor, a Sinningia sp. now i'd like to find out which species this cute little Typhonium is... would anyone have a clue? the plant has very small round leaves. at first, i even thought it was a Dioscorea since i had sown some seeds but those never sprouted... thanks all. tsuh yang in NYC __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

This unfortunate misunderstanding that seems to be impossible to eradicate. My Amorph-project is based in Leiden, I work in a different branch. > some time ago, i had received from his royal lordiness > in leiden some tiny tubers of a round-leafed, small > Typhonium species, which grew for a while and then > went dormant. since i didn't find any tubers in the > pot, i gave up on it and re-used the pot for something > else, losing the tag in the process. now months and > months later, it's sprouted again, living in the pot > with its new neighbor, a Sinningia sp. now i'd like > to find out which species this cute little Typhonium > is... would anyone have a clue? the plant has very > small round leaves. at first, i even thought it was a > Dioscorea since i had sown some seeds but those never > sprouted... > thanks all. Sounds like T. violaefolium. Is it sweet-smelling? Me himself

I don't normally associate words like "cute" with typhoniums, but this really is the cutest little plant, one of my favorites. Fragrant, too, another word not often found near 'typhonium'.
