On the other hand, Anthurium cubense is an member of section Pachyneurium mainly from Central America, more info here: http://www.aroid.org/genera/anthurium/pachyneurinum/cubense.htm With best regards, David +More Le 16 d?c. 07 ? 09:24, a ?crit : > > > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: ExoticRainforest > To: Discussion of aroids > Sent: Thursday, December 13, 2007 2:01 PM > Subject: [Aroid-l] Anthurium cubense > > > Friends--- > > I THINK this species was collected about 10 years (?) back, and > was displayed by the then plant curator, the great Craig Allen, > growing on the huge artificial ''tree'' at Fairchild, IF it is the > one I am thinking of, a vining species that lives amongst the > ''boots'' (petiole bases) of sabal/cabbage palms on Cuba? > Of course it is entirely possible that with the seeming ''shift'' > into ''pretty-pretties only'' being displayed at Fairchild, this > rare and should-be-treasured species might have been weeded off its > perch and relegated to a back area, or thrown out with the trash in > preference to a cheap, imported-from- Thailand (but pretty, mind > you!) hybrid blooming Dendrobium orchid. > There must be others in the Miami area who were the benificiaries > of this collection in Cuba, and who still have this interesting, > rare but relatively unattractive species in their collections?? > > Julius > >>>> I am trying to locate a photo of a specimen of Anthurium >>>> cubense.
