Asian epiphytes

From: RAYMOMATTLA at cs.com on 2007.02.08 at 02:43:23(15250) Does anyone know if there are any other genera in SE Asia other than Remusatia with species growing as TRUE epiphytes. If so which species?

S. beccarii and a couple of yet-to-be-described spp. are obligate primary epiphytes; all form fans of foliage that function as litter-traps. In S. geniculatus there is extensive formation of short, erect, pointed roots into the accumulated litter in the same manner as happens in many Anthurium.

From: "Tom Croat" <Thomas.Croat at mobot.org> on 2007.02.09 at 01:12:30(15259) Dear Michael: As I recall from my paper on the life forms of Araceae (Published in Aroideana) Remusatia is the only one in Asia and it is not even regularly epiphytic. Sometime you find genera which are not regularly epiphytic acting like epiphytes when they germinate in a deposit of soil on a tree. I once found a Spathiphyllum growing happily on a fallen tree.

From: "Alistair Hay" <ajmhay at hotmail.com> on 2007.02.09 at 05:15:22(15260) We need Peter Boyce on this one, but there is a Bornean Scindapsus which grows as an epiphytic leaf-trapping rosette. I can't lay hands on Peter's revision so I can't look up which species it is, and I am also not 100% sure whether this species starts life on the ground or not....

From: Adam Black <epiphyte1 at earthlink.net> on 2007.02.09 at 06:04:36(15263) How about an epiphytic Arisaema - A. menghaiense. See http://flora.huh.harvard.edu/china/novon/novo-14-03-372.pdf The description at this link is surprisingly vague as to its epiphytic habit - does anyone know if it is exclusively epiphytic, or simply a species that can be found growing in either situation as in Remusatia? Are these in cultivation? If so, what do I need to do to get one?!?!
