Re: [Aroid-l] Alocasia tigrina vs zebrina

From: LARIANN GARNER AROIDIAN at worldnet.att.net> on 2006.11.22 at 21:26:56(14839) Chris, The A. tigrina superba has much narrower elongated leaves than the zebrina and in addition, the leaf of the A. zebrina is of a thicker constitution than the A. tigrina superba. I have a page on the A. zebrina, and one on my A. tigrina hybrid, which has retained much of the characteristics of the A. tigrina superba. See the following: http://aroidiaresearch.org/azebrina.htm http://aroidiaresearch.org/abristig.htm Best regards, LariAnn Garner +More Aroidia Research http://aroidiaresearch.org D. Christopher Rogers wrote: Well, after the heated discussion on heaters in which I learned lots (thank you all), I thought I would ask another question, hopefully with a simple answer. How can I separate Alocasia tigrina from A. zebrina? I have a nice plant about a meter tall, no flowers, labeled A. tigrina, but looks a lot like pictures I have seen recently of A. zebrina. Any advice and literature citations would be helpful Thanks heaps! AUTOTEXTLIST \s "E-mail Signature" D. Christopher Rogers Invertebrate Ecologist/Taxonomist ((,///////////=====< EcoAnalysts, Inc.
