The plant that he is calling X. 'violacia" (w/ dark green leaf stalks, and with green leaves and with a purple hue over the leaves) sure sounds like to 'new' one from Cen. America which I reported in my earlier post, and Eduardo ID`d it from a photo sent in as NOT being X. violacium, but another 'good' species like X. sagittifolium, I don`t remember exactly which. The second which Helmut is calling X. 'nigra' with the very dark purple petioles I THINK is what we have being called X. violacium! BUT---until Eduardo gets his review of the cultivated forms/species of Xanthosoma completed, we shall always remain in doubt! Helmut, please if at all possible post photos of these plants to the aroid-l and we can all take a look at them, and perhaps Dr.Goncalves can give us his opinion. The Best, Julius +More Hi Peter, Hi Jani I ´ve once learned, there is a difference beetween Xanthosoma violacea and X. nigra, the first with green leaf stalks, green leaves and a purple hue over the green, the latter with very dark purple petioles. Is that correkt? Some of our X. nigra are regularely flowering in our greenhouse in Vienna. Next time I ´ll take a picture.
