Re: Alocasia 'Sinuata'

From: "Dany Hervelle" bs246466 at skynet.be> on 2001.06.28 at 23:34:21(6913) Hello Brian and list Your remark about the juvenile form of what is know in the name of alocasia sinuata in horticulture and the hybrid between alocasia portei and odora reply me a remark from my friend David from the Nancy botanical garden.It seem that there is a confusion about the specie alocasia sinuata(Dr Boyce have writing something in aroid L some +More days agoo about this species) Alocasia sinuata is apparently NOT the species that is fig 44,p103 of D.Burnett aroideana 'cultived alocasia'!Alocasia sinuata is the specie know in horticulture as the name of alocasia 'quited dream','bullatus','hawaii' and probably some others.It is illustrate in the same edition of aroideana from D.Burnett ,fig 33,p96. I don't know which species is the plant know in this name in horticulture,but it is totally different(maybe hybrid origin?).But in all the way,this plant is for me an easy growing plant and no matter what it is,i love it,like all my others alocasia! But for those of us who grow the real alocasia sinuata(the australian cultivar),it is for me one of the most beautifull little alocasia.More beautifull than the tc. version that is ofen avalable! Good growin' to all Dany
