'Brazil' was new at least to ME since I don`t grow these kinds of climbing aroids! The other plant in question is NOT a Piper, it is deff. an aroid, and a VERY interesting one to boot, the color (purplish-green w/ splashes of cream) and especially the texture of its leaves is outstanding, like leather, but not a rough as P. rugosum. I THINK the guy where I saw it said it was purchased from a commercial grower in S.W. Florida, and that he THOUGHT that it was named "Pothos 'splash' "or somesuch, I will corner him and re-check the name on the invoice ASAP and let you guys know. Good Growing, Julius +More They probly bought it from us and are growing it for themselves. It is a neat plant.

From: RAYMOMATTLA at cs.com on 2006.12.22 at 00:06:49(14985) I wonder if the one nicknamed Pothos "splash" is one of the varieties of Scindapsus pictus. Malesiana was offering a few different ones that I havent seen before. Not sure if any of them get a purplish leaf though, the 2 more common forms are plain/dark green with cream/white speckles or markings. Sounds very interesting to say the least Julius. Keep us informed. Michael _______________________________________________ +More Aroid-l mailing list Aroid-l@gizmoworks.com http://www.gizmoworks.com/mailman/listinfo/aroid-l

From: <abri1973 at wp.pl> on 2006.12.22 at 14:36:44(14990) Hi all, Pothos (or even Photos [!] ) is a commonly used name by nurseries and gardeners for several forms of Epipremnum, Scindapsus, or Rhaphidophira. We must remember that the genus Pothos belongs to another subfamily Pothoideae, and the genera mentioned above belong to Monsteroideae, tribe Monstereae. The Monstereae tribe is easy to distinguish even when not in bloom. Just look at the leaves - one leaf has a right side broader, the next one has the left side broader and so on. When unfolding they are sequentially left and right convolute. +More Marek ----- Original Message ----- From: RAYMOMATTLA@cs.com To: aroid-l@gizmoworks.com Sent: Friday, December 22, 2006 1:06 AM Subject: Re: [Aroid-l] NOT a Piper sp.
