From: crogers at ecoanalysts.com (Christopher Rogers) on 2008.08.05 at 15:46:07(18327) I would expect that they be cataphylls. Which, like the spathe are modified leaves. Cheers, Christopher +More D.

If it was truly one flower they would be sepals but it subtends and inflorescence. So is there a technical term for these few "bracts"? Any help appreciated. _______________________________________________ Aroid-L mailing list Aroid-L at www.gizmoworks.com http://www.gizmoworks.com/mailman/listinfo/aroid-l -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
