Aroid or not?
|
From: Hort.doc at att.net (Mark McCauley) on 2008.08.08 at 20:43:19(18353)
I started growing tubers and bulbs I find in oriental markets. One I bought
recently was labeled "Nge Vang". I figured with the range of experience and
location of the folks on here, someone might know what it is. Now that it
has emerged, it looks somewhat like a calla, or perhaps a canna. Any ideas?
Thanks-

Hello,
I've got an ID request, the person asks if it may be an aroid.
In this phase and condition it seems to be impossible what plant it is.
Plants of the Araceae produce roots just below the leaf bud.
This one has no roots at all, it can be the top of an aroid tuber,
but it can also belong to any bulbous plants like Tulipa or Hyacinthus
What do you think?

Subject: Plant ID request
Dear helpful person from the Aroid Identification Center,
I am writing to you with a rather unusual request.
We received some images from a plant (presumable a Araceae) that was found by customs at the New Zealand border.
The plant was in a rather bad (rotten) stage and I can't identify it.
I thought you might be able to help and could at least confirm that the object in the picture is indeed a corm of a Araceae. Maybe Dracunculus?
The plant arrived from the UK. This all I know.
I am grateful for any comment
best wishes

Hi everone,
I don't know, but my first thought is a banana tree that was cut rather close with a shovel. Is that a possibility? Is there any info at all about its' origins?
Good luck, Sherry

Marek,
I think that the piece of plant material in question whould be cleaned,
especially the bottom surface. If it's a bulb it will be clearly evident
that it's been cut through. If it's a corm or a tuber that will be more
apparent as well. Hope that this helps.

Hi Marek, and everyone,
I had read the original message, maybe mis-read because it seemed, to me, like there is really no clue as to it's identity ("presumable a Araceae" sounded like a stab-in-the-dark guess & "The plant arrived from the UK. This all I know". sounds like they really have no idea of what this is)
I'd never try to outguess the experts, which I am certainly not, so I suppose I shouldn't even have made a possible suggestion as to its ID. I was going by the appearance of the emerging leaf (folded) & the look of the bulb/corm w/dead leaves attached which (still) resembles a banana tree base that has been cut through (I've seen lots of those! lol). I understand that the appearance isn't always a definitive identifier, but it is after all, all we have to go by at this point. That's why I asked if that was a possibility.
Take care and have a great week,
Sherry

Hello Sherry,
Please read the message below mine.
This is not an aroid, rather a half dead Amaryllidaceae or Hyacinthaceae.
