Dear Michael, I`m certain that someone ''out there'' has photos. I remember when Pete Boyce and a bunch of us aroid nuts were discussing and examining this species where it grows as a shingle plant and covers walls in the rare plant house at Fairchild Gardens in Miami, we looked for and located blooms hidden under leaves. Severel people took photos that day. So it does ''hide'' its blooms, at least in the conditions under which it is growing on the wall at Fairchild. I`d love to see photos of yours in bloom.

From: "Christopher Rogers" <crogers at ecoanalysts.com> on 2008.10.06 at 17:23:26(18613) This is a question that I haveas well. I was told recently that the inflorescences are under the leaves. Theplant that I have that may possibly be R. cryptantha has small inflorescences thatproject out well away from the leaves. Is this another species, similar to R.cryptantha or the same plant?

Dear Christopher and Michael and all Aroid friends, Pete Boyce will, I hope, give us a ''final solution'' to our enquiring mind s on this issue. What I can say is the plant/plants of this species at Fairchild Gardens in Miami (were the basis of this species description) bear blooms hidden fro w view under their leaves which are tightly apressed to the wall on which i t climbs. Perhaps under different conditions the same species might bear b looms further away and on longer peduncles that the one at Fairchild?? SE ND PHOTOS OF YOUR RESPECTIVE PLANTS.
