Re: [Aroid-l] Piptospatha insignis N.E.Br.

From: Adam Black <epiphyte1 at earthlink.net> on 1970.01.01 at 00:00:00(23429) Yes, guessing likely Dipteris lobbiana. I've seen so many spectacular images of it.

It looks like the genus, Dipteris, which I saw in higher elevation forests of Northern Luzon, in the Philippines. It may be in this genus. If not, you should know about Dipteris, as it is an incredible genus that I rarely see cultivated. In the mountains of Luzon, it covers entire hillsides in association with small Pinanga palms and Nepenthes pitcher plants.

If this is the same fern which I just came across in Queensland, AU then it feels like plastic, and has predominantly separate fertile spikes. Are you by any chance familiar with this fern, even just to knowing its name? TIA Jonathan Jonathan Ertelt, Greenhouse Manager Vanderbilt University On 6/19/15 1:43 AM, "Peter C.
