From: Don Martinson <dmartin at post.its.mcw.edu> on 1998.03.13 at 06:48:47(1952) Dear Aroiders... While in Puerto Vallarta, I came across a large potted aroid (in fruit/flower) at the Paradisus Hotel. I haven't gotten my pictures back yet, but in the meantime, the plant was perhaps somewhat less than 3 ft high and 3 ft wide. The leaves were many, about 2 ft long, 6 inches wide and very short petioled, giving the plant the appearance of a large birds nest fern, but with heavier and darker green leaves. Any suggestions for me to cogitate upon until my pictures come back? Don Martinson +More Medical College of Wisconsin Milwaukee, Wisconsin dmartin@post.its.mcw.edu

From: Tom Croat <croat at mobot.org> on 1998.03.13 at 17:07:04(1956) Don: My guess is that it is Anthurium schlechtendalii var. jimenezii but I would be glad to look at your photos to be sure. Certainly it must be a member of sect. Pachyneurium and there are only 2-3 in that region.

Don, I believe that this is an Anthurium species, but I'm not sure of the species, and don't have any of the books I need here at the home office - they're all at work. I would look in the Anthurium of Panama Mobot Monograph Tom Croat put out a while ago now as my first choice. It looks familiar to me, and we worked alot with Panamanian collections for awhile at one of my former haunts. Jonathan +More Jonathan Ertelt Greenhouse Manager, Vanderbilt University

From: "Eugene Hoh" hohe at symphony.net.au> on 2002.08.26 at 04:15:46(9284) Hello all, [just thought I should finally contribute something after being on Aroid-L for ages!] The plant in Don's hand looks a lot like an Anthurium I used to grow - A. polyschistum. As a young plant it has a thin, flexible vining stem with long internodes, almost like some Syngoniums or Monsteras in texture, and quite unlike other Anthuriums I've seen in cultivation. The leaves are also quite soft and thin (and beloved of two-spotted mites...). Not being an Anthurium expert I'm not certain about my suggested ID, but I hope it's on the right track. There are couple of pix of a nice plant of A. polyschistum in flower, on David Scherberich's web site: http://dscherberich.free.fr/MONTET/anthpolyschistumncy.html. Looking at Tom Croat & Richard Sheffer's 'The Sectional Groupings of Anthurium (Araceae)' on the IAS website (http://www.aroid.org/genera/Anthurium/anthsections.html), A. polyschistum is classified in section Dactylophyllium, which contains other species with palmately compound leaves such as A. pentaphyllum and A. clavigerum. Incidentally, out of curiosity I also looked up A. polyschistum in Missouri Bot. Garden's W3Tropicos database (http://mobot.mobot.org/W3T/Search/vast.html) - a good online resource with records for many herbarium specimens of aroids from tropical America, and also quite a few photos of the plants in habitat. A number of collections of A. polyschistum are listed from Napo in Ecuador; it's also known from Amazonian Colombia, Loreto in Peru and Acre in N.W. Brazil. Hope this is useful. cheers Eugene +More ----------------------------- Eugene Hoh Sydney, Australia hohe@symphony.net.au Don Martinson wrote: > On a trip this past week-end to the Olbrich Botanical Gardens in > Madison, WI, I saw the plant pictured in the following link: (the one > I'm holding in my hand) > > http://home.wi.rr.com/llmen/unknown.jpg > > It looks to be a climbing aroid of some sort, maybe Philodendron? > > Any suggestions? > > -- > Don Martinson > Milwaukee, Wisconsin > Mailto:llmen@wi.rr.com

From: Piabinha at aol.com on 2002.08.26 at 14:32:25(9289) hello eugene and don, i thought it was Anthurium polystichum, NOT polyschistum??? -- tsuh yang CHEN in nyc

From: Don Martinson llmen at wi.rr.com> on 2002.08.26 at 16:21:00(9290) Thanks to everyone who helped ID my unknown photo as Anthurium polyschistum. -- Don Martinson +More Milwaukee, Wisconsin Mailto:llmen@wi.rr.com

From: "Clarence Hammer" chammer at cfl.rr.com> on 2002.08.28 at 08:04:27(9305) Don, Anthurium aemulum is another 'fingered' leaved type that is worth growing if you don't have it. About as common as polyschistum. I like these viners better than many of the 'birdnest' types. Russ

From: Don Martinson <llmen at wi.rr.com> on 2012.12.23 at 20:51:14(22740) Attached is the photo of an Anthurium I took in Chachagua, Costa Rica. Although the photo doesn’t show it well, the inflorescence seemed to have a definite pinkish case. It looks like it might be one of the Pachyneuriums, but that’s beyond my expertise.

From: "Tom Croat" <Thomas.Croat at mobot.org> on 2012.12.25 at 22:44:22(22742) Dear Don: I recognize the species but do not recognize its name. Do you have and image of the cataphyll and petiole cross-sectional shape, both good for trying to key out the plant. I assume that it is native to Costa Rica. Unfortunately the spadix color is post-anthesis so it won’t be of much help but the infructescence is fairly unique.
