Re: [Aroid-l] New aroid in western Australia?

From: Michael Pascall <mickpascall at hotmail.com> on 2011.01.21 at 01:15:16(21775) Most likely a Typhonium , I got a few tubers of a much larger sp.from the Northern Territory a few years ago . They can be very difficult to keep alive . Probably be 10 years before we got a name for it . Alistair Hay is in Columbia at the moment , he might have a comment to make on it later .
