[Aroid-l] More on Monstera dilacerata

From: Michael Pascall <mickpascall at hotmail.com> on 2010.04.10 at 08:11:36(20810) Did a few more searches today for this sp. And found it is still a valid species on GRIN .. Taxon: +More Monstera dilacerata K. Koch Genus: Monstera Family: Araceae subfamily: Monsteroideae tribe: Monstereae. Nomen number: 312844 Place of publication: A. C. H. Braun et al. App. gen. sp. nov. 5. 1855 Name verified on: 14-Oct-1987 by ARS Systematic Botanists. Last updated: 06-Nov-2006 Species priority site is: Natl. Germplasm Repository - Miami (MIA). It is still listed on Tropicos as well . So goes to show you cannot believe everything you hear or read .. Is it just that it has not been updated ? Or mistaken identity with mature foliage that got this statment .. "The wantonly and inventively misapplied Monstera dilacerata (K. Koch & Sel lo) K. Koch is revealed to be a synonym of the Asian Epipremnum pinnatum ( L.) Engl. and the obscure Monstera pinnatipartita Schott is neotypified and resurrected for one of the four Costa Rican spp. included under M. dila cerata in Madison's generic revision (Contr. Gray Herb. 207: 1-100. 1977). The redundant combination Monstera dissecta (Schott) Croat & Grayum (1987) is corrected to M. dissecta (Schott) N. E. Br. ex Donn. Sm. (1899). No illu strations. " I cannot wait for the next revision . _________________________________________________________________ Need a new place to live?
