Re: [aroid-l] Off topic Marcrgavia ID please.

From: "Peter Boyce" <peterboyce at myjaring.net> on 2004.05.01 at 04:05:40(11461) Hi Michael Rhaphidophora hongkongensis is widespread from Hong Kong though south and southwest China through northern Vietnam, Lao PDR, Thailand and Myanmar. It's one of a group of species (to which belongs R. montana, maingayi, elliptics, etc) with stems rectangular in cross-section, petiole sheathes extendig to the tip of the petiole and thence ligulate and overhanging the leaf laminae. Leaf lamiane are always simple and frequently oblique. Leaf development is heterophyllous but with juveniles with the laminae congensed and sub-shingling. Infloresences are carried at the tips of usually much-branched, pendent, free lateral shoots.
