Re: [Aroid-l] Anthurium watermaliense Hort. ex L.H. Bailey &

From: "mossytrail" <mossytrail at hctc.com> on 2008.11.29 at 16:35:47(18762) Interesting. I would have assumed it was from someplace in Suriname, but apparently, not so. On the other hand, there are valid species named after where they were first noticed rather than from their native range. Like the greenhouse flatworm, Bipalium kewense. It is from the former French Indochina, but was first noticed by science in Kew Gardens. Question for ExoticRainforest: does the suffix Hort. always mean it was a horticultural name? Because I was under the impression that it applies to some valid species which, at the time they were named, had been in cultivation long enough that their wild origins were not remembered.
