Re: [Aroid-l] Anthurium

From: "Denis Rotolante" <denis at skg.com> on 2009.09.18 at 14:26:28(20040) Nice picture! This black spathed anthurium is not an A. watermaliense. the spathe is too broad and the spadix is curved in a relaxed sort of way. This is perhaps the famous "Black Anthurium", a member of the Calomystrium Group with the andraeanum types. It originates high in the cloud forests of the Andes Mountains in Colobia and does not do well in sub tropical & tropical sea level environments. I've heard it referred to as Anthurium rubrum although I have never seen it described as such in an article. It will hybridize with other calomystrium types if you can get it to grow in your greenhouse and flower, alas I can not.

Type the name in Google picture search, you'll find identical plants and much different ones. For example the inflorescence in the IAS page differs very much http://www.aroid.org/genera/anthurium/pachyneurinum/watermal.php Best, Marek ----- Original Message ----- From: Marcus Nadruz To: aroid-l@gizmoworks.com Sent: Wednesday, September 16, 2009 3:21 PM Subject: [Aroid-l] Anthurium Dear friends, does anyone know the name of this species of Anthurium?
