[Aroid-l] silver stripes species ..Epipremnum or what ?

From: botanist at malesiana.com (Peter Boyce) on 2008.07.21 at 13:01:10(18204) Hi Rus, This is definitely Epipremnum amplissimum. Rhaphidophora amplissima is a synonym of E. amplissimum; Tropicos is way out of date on this. Rhaphidophora chevalieri is a species from Vietnam & Thailand and is readily identifiable by having stems square or rectangular in cross section.

This doesn't seem to be Epipremnum amplissimum, I have seen it called Rhaph chevalieri but don't know if that's correct. By the way, Epipremnum amplissimum seems to be a synonym, the basionym official name is Rhaphidophora amplissima according to Tropicos. That is, if I'm reading the site correctly.

Dewey Fisk had it on his list as Epipremnum amplissimum ,, and had this to say ; 'This is the very pretty long lance leaf plant that is listed in Exotica as ?Raphidophora chevalieri Exotica?. Foliage is laced with silver markings. Rapid grower into a full basket or totem.' It is a stunning easy to grow plant , and can run rampant with enough water . Here is a pic.
