Re: [Aroid-l] Supervolute vernation. Finally a photo!

From: ExoticRainforest <Steve at ExoticRainforest.com> on 2010.01.17 at 22:24:48(20486) Thanks Pete. This is slowlybecoming clearer! Tom and I have been bouncing email over this forseveral days. I did notice something strange about the plant you helped to ID as Philodendronpusillum. I showed the photos to Eduardo and he appears to agree. The plant has grown larger blades since then which I need to show tohim again for confirmation. A few months ago I noticed it was producing a new blade that appearedto be involute but the one opening now is going to be convolute. Aphoto is attached. Any ideas?

In aroids all except Lagenandra, thepachyneurium Anthurium, and Amorphophallus (all of which are involute)areconvolute, with the individual leaves supervolute.
