[Aroid-l] Stolen plant

From: jonathan.ertelt at Vanderbilt.Edu (Ertelt, Jonathan B) on 2008.08.06 at 05:33:35(18331) Michael, I will bow to other authorities here, but the vining heart-shaped leaves do bot, I don't believe, belong to an aroid. My first reaction is to suggest a member of the milweed family, perrhaps a Dischidia, but they uniformly have opposite leaves, not alternate as this one does. It maybe a Piper species. To be honest, I'm not as well versed with the old world aroid tropicals as numerous others on this list - but my suggestion is that you may want to explore some other groups, not just the aroids. Good luck - l;et us know. Jonathan +More ? > My name is Michael, i have 21 years old, currently i am stdying > biology??and i live at Madeira Island (Portugal).
