Re: [aroid-l] Non-Aroid question

From: Thomas.Croat at mobot.org on 2004.01.05 at 16:54:04(10987) Monstera dubia is a member of section Marcgraviopsis and is definitely a "shingler" in the juvenile phaze.

Michael Mattlage The only ones I can think of are a couple of species of Dischidia, and perhaps a few ferns where the rhizomes are somewhat overlapping, providing a home for ants, though the fronds still stick out. I'd be interested in hearing what other plants exhibit this shingle type growth habit. There may be a couple of Begonia species, but the leaves aren't appressed to the substrate the way theu are in these others. Jonathan
