Hermine: When I say there is no such name I am only referring to
the fact that it is not published to my knowledge. If it is not published
and is not likely to be published then so are as I am concerned it is not
official.

Well Steve, per our private discussion as to the true identity of the
elusive species P. mandaianum, or hybrid P. X 'Mandaianum', the latter of
which is pictured and described in Exotica and Tropica (Graf), and other
sources as well, Tom's reply of 'no such name' is most
interesting.Mr Graf took peoples' names and wrote them
down, and as far as I know did not take it any further than that. In no way to
I criticize him, i think EXOTICA is the mother of the interest in RARE PLANTS
in the USA. I also knew immediately what you meant by phil glaucophyllum since
i had heard it applied to THAT PLANT for ages. When graf came here to
photograph some bamboo, we told him this name on it was just what it was being
called NOW, and we fully expected it to be a temporary name, and due to be
changed in the very near future, and he did not seem concerned, concerned ONLY
with getting the grove on film. NOBODY worships accurate taxonomy more
than I do, by the way. My greatest contribution to it is removing wrong
labels, since i do not name species. i am relieved to report that this is NOT
MY JOB! I do use various punctuation marks to indicate a name in current usage
has not been thoroughly vetted. The one thing I do not do is go on the
warpath every time i see a wrong name, unless it is something like a person
putting a patent and a new name on a plant previously published by my good
self. because that is just plain ICKY.And I will follow up on the
latest news in taxonomy and change my labels.Of all the plants I grow,
i know least about the names of Aroids than all the others. I am totally
dependent on youse guys.hermine
