RE: [Aroid-l] ID help

From: "Wilbert Hetterscheid" hetter at xs4all.nl> on 2006.02.12 at 05:46:04(13872) I sugegsted S. multiforus indeed but I do not agree with reason for the infraspecific katharinae suggestion: S. multiflorus ssp. katharinae differs from the typical subspecies and subsp. longitubus exclusively in sizes of a number of floral characters. The spots on the "pseudo"-bulb are present in the entire species.

All of my bulbs of this have that spotted look on glossy green - more so than Eucomis or Drimiopsis.

The requester thought it was an aroid, which I seem to doubt (are there any aroids that are true bulbs?). I'm not sure if the two attached photos will come through to the list. If not then anyone willing to try an ID can email me *privately* (please) and I'll resend the photos directly to you. (My impression is Eucomis sp) -Ken Mosher <>_______________________________________________ Aroid-l mailing list Aroid-l@gizmoworks.com http://www.gizmoworks.com/mailman/listinfo/aroid-l
