Re: [aroid-l] Need Monstera ID

From: Eugene Hoh <hohe at symphony.net.au> on 2004.07.20 at 13:47:03(11777) hi Michael, your plant with divided leaves looks like something I'm growing... which I think is Monstera subpinnata . ... Looking it up in the TROPICOS database (Missouri Botanic Gardens)...it's a species that's been collected in Peru and Bolivia, and also Ecuador & Brazil (Acre). Maybe you could have a look under its 'specimen list' for this species? as some of the (more recent) specimen records have field notes that describe fine details - e.g. of stem, veins, colour, texture - which you could compare with your own plant. (btw. if you haven't used that database before - it's at http://mobot.mobot.org/W3T/Search/vast.html It's quite a good resource for nomenclature - for checking names & classification - & has many habitat pics & herbarium specimen records for aroids collected in C. & S. America ) cheers Eugene +More Eugene Hoh Sydney, Australia RAYMOMATTLA@cs.com wrote: > Can anyone help with the ID on this Monstera?
