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

Steve,

We cannot talk about vernation types not seeing the midrib as it is presented on the second drawing.

It can as well be a half of a leaf rolled involutely.

The third drawing (convolute) is what I thought about (but I was afraid to say) -

that the term "convolute" may refer only to at least two objects

like one leaf inside another one or a spadix wrapped by a spathe.

Anyway in my cord photos, the third type, although probably not occuring in Araceae

is possible, so it must have a name too.

It's becoming complicated...

Marek
