Re: [Aroid-l] Cyrtosperma merkusii--the story

From: "FLFireman1 at yahoo.com" flfireman1 at yahoo.com> on 2006.09.30 at 23:40:52(14719) Hello Brian, Julius, and everybody else who shared there info and insight on this beautiful plant. The Markusii that Brian sent a link of from Hawaii doesnt look "exactly" like the one that is growing at Fairchild. It may very well be the same plant, since I am no expert. But it appears that the leaf on the one that Brian sent a link to has a softer leaf almost like a Xanthosoma Sagitifollia when compared to an Alocasia Odora leaf. +More Here is a link to the plant that looks identical to the one growing at Fairchild: http://dscherberich.free.fr/MUNICH/cyrtomerkusiim.html Again they very well may be the same plant, or a variation of the same plant.
