Aroid from Ecuador, ID needed please

From: Eric Schmidt <leu242 at yahoo.com> on 2007.02.09 at 21:23:11(15273) we have an Anthurium that was donated years ago. It was collected in Ecuador but no other specifics were given. It is about 2ft tall and has small white inflorescences. It is hardy for an Anthurium as it has been growing here in the ground for 4 years. Anyone know what species this might be? We have several other specimens of different Anthuriums from Ecuador that were donated at the same time. I will post photos of these for identification when they flower in the future. Here is the one flowering now; http://tinyurl.com/2oyruk http://tinyurl.com/3ywuzk Thanks, Eric +More Leu Gardens Orlando,FL z9b/10a ____________________________________________________________________________________ Food fight?

From: Brian Williams <pugturd at alltel.net> on 2007.02.10 at 08:20:50(15275) It looks similar to Anthurium cordatum? But you might want to see what the experts say first not sure if its found in Ecuador. _______________________________________________ +More Aroid-l mailing list Aroid-l@gizmoworks.com http://www.gizmoworks.com/mailman/listinfo/aroid-l

From: "Tom Croat" <Thomas.Croat at mobot.org> on 2007.02.10 at 16:26:07(15278) Dear Eric: This Anthurium section Calomystrium but unfortunately there are probably 50 species in Ecuador. It might be identifiable eventually but as yet I have prepared no key. Incidentally we are working on a key to described species of Anthurium using Lucid which will enable you to determine species which have been described. If you could prepare a good specimen of this I would be able to get it determined eventually. I would get it mounted and process it with the other undetermined plants. Tom +More Tom Croat, P. A.
