JULIUS:
Thanks for the reply
If you remember from the first time I email you-A. gigantea was also a
possiblity. However do you still think that this is an above water leaf?
To your knowledge does a.gigantea produce above water leaves? I have
gotten two new leaves on both plants. Each plant has one new round
spearpointed leaf and one that has a nubbed bottom(just like I was
describing), It is however to early to tell if these knubbed leaves will
crest the water surface

Dear Frank,
Anything is a possibility at this stage, as we're all making
informed guess' UNTILL we see an infloresence!
I believe all the species will produce both above and below water leaves if
given the oppertunity. In the book "AROIDS" by D. Bown there is a color photo
of an infloresence of A. giganteus, and she says-"The largest"[of the genus]"
is A. giganteus with hastate, almost trilobed, leaves". I believe there is a
review of the genus published, you may want to put a note out on this forum
asking where it's available from. Good luck-
Julius.
