Re: [Aroid-l] Arum dioscoridis x A. italicum hybrid

From: "Marek Argent" <abri1973 at wp.pl> on 2010.07.22 at 23:46:43(21233) Dear Tony, I looked at the photos of the inflorescence of "×Sauronellia". http://www.plantdelights.com/gallery/Aroids/Copy_of_xSauronellia_Sauromatum _Pinellia_pedatisecta_flowers_cut3?full=1 Until the DNA is examined we cannot talk about a new taxon at the range of a genus, it looks rather like a mutation of Sauromatum venosum. This inflorescence is typical to the genus Sauromatum, the female zone is free from the spathe, in Pinellia it is adnate (fused) t o the spathe, There are pistillodes (sterile female flowers) which are absent in Pinellia and the male flowers are distant from the female zone, so we still have a typical Sauromatum inflorescence without any generic features of Pinellia. The only thing making it a supposed cross is the curved appendix, but the inflorescence might be deformed. I think you should send some juvenile plants to the experts of the Aroideae subfamily, the scientific research is necessary.
