[Aroid-l] Chaos in Monstera names

From: botanist at malesiana.com (Peter Boyce) on 2008.07.06 at 21:46:54(18092) Harry, In the wild R. decursiva grows in very shady, perhumind forest in deep valleys or on the northern exposure of mountains or north-facing cliffs. As I mentioned in an earlir posting it can get VERY large and along with R. megaphylla and R.eximia is probably among the largest of all linanescet aroids.
