Dear Ken, No one asked me! "Believe it or don`t", as the old "Mad Magazine' used to say, I have been told that this all-green, giant Gonotopus is the very same G. bovinii, the common 'giraffe leg' or whatever, the other one with the beautiful markings which grows to a substantially smaller plant, at least the experts including "Lord P" whom have grown it and studied the 'naughty bits' along the spadix say that they are a match! So there now! Julius +More At that IAS show/sale there were several plants of a solid green (no spots, stripes or bloches) Gonatopus with no certain species listed. Nobody there was able to identify the species. Does anyone else have any ideas? I can take a photo and post it later if required. Thanks, Ken<< _______________________________________________ Aroid-l mailing list Aroid-l@gizmoworks.com http://www.gizmoworks.com/mailman/listinfo/aroid-l _______________________________________________ Aroid-l mailing list Aroid-l@gizmoworks.com http://www.gizmoworks.com/mailman/listinfo/aroid-l

It certainly is a different looking plant even aside from the solid green color. At the place where the petiole divides into three, the three joints are very large and rounded. But if His P'ness (don't say that too fast) says they're both G. boivinii then it must be so... -Ken +More Julius Boos wrote: Reply-To : Discussion of aroids Sent : Wednesday, September 27, 2006 4:22 AM To : Aroid list Subject : [Aroid-l] Gonatopus species?
