Re: [Aroid-l] Suspected Asian Aroid

From: Helmut Reisenberger <gartenbaureisenberger at web.de> on 2009.02.06 at 04:18:31(19058) Hi Steve, I ´ll do my best for the photos. I have to go there (HBV, Botanical Garde n of the Vienna University) and will climb up the plant (seven meters). I also owe the forum photos of an adult Monstera tenuis, which I once have found in the Botanical Garden of Darmstadt (Germany). I hope the plant stil l exists and I have to ask them to get these pictures. If so, I would be ha ppy, if you also could investigate/publish this wonderful species. Picts of the juvenile Monstera tenuis I have available, as the young shoots run all over my tropical greenhouse and wait to be cut back. I also have not forgotten that I have promised Leland some rooted cuttings of the Monstera tenuis. I have them available, but unfortunately I have los t the delivery address.
