RE: [Aroid-l] Syngonium rayii

From: "Tom Croat" Thomas.Croat at mobot.org> on 2006.11.09 at 00:10:59(14794) Dear Eduardo and Harry: I must admit that I too have seen this mostly in cultivation where it does indeed crawl around on the ground and it does flower there. I just checked our wild collected specimens in the herbarium and though few in number all that had data said they were epiphytes. One was simply said to be a vine which would not rule it out as a vine on the ground.

Tom may have seen thousands of them in the field and probably I am reporting an unusual behavior in cultivation (or a strong tolerance for the absence of trees). Very best wishes, Eduardo.
