Re: spatiphyllum Macho

From: "Ron Iles" roniles at eircom.net> on 2001.09.21 at 20:39:22(7534) Hi Ben! Thank you for reporting Spathiphyllum "Macho" & being another person noticing Peace Lilies! It is a cultivar, maybe a hybrid, produced in Holland not a natural species I think. It is one of the "missing" forms I need! .Do you have a source please? Is there any way I can purchase a plant or a few of this form, or for that any of the 50 others I need please? There are only 40 or so known species in the genus Spathiphyllum ranging from 10 cms to 3 metres height. But over 100 "named" cultivars are named. "Macho" is definitive maybe & produced in tissue culture. If you want others now, I can send you Chopin, Cupido, Piccolino, Sweet Chico etc. Please let me know how I can help you. The World Spathiphyllum Reference here will hopefully contain two thirds of 150 plus forms soon. I would be very grateful to know any other definitively named forms you see! Someone else interested in collecting Spathiphyllum? AMAZING! Cheers Ron Iles +More PS Are you Member of the International Aroid Society? I serve the Society as their NewsEditor as you may know? ----- Original Message ----- To: "Multiple recipients of list AROID-L" Sent: Friday, September 21, 2001 4:08 PM Subject: spatiphyllum Macho > I just saw a large flowered Spathyphyllum "Macho" Does anyone > know which species it is? > Ben J.M.Zonneveld > Clusius lab pobox 9505 > 2300 RA Leiden > The Netherlands > mintemp-16C(5F) > Zonneveld@RULbim.LeidenUniv.NL > Fax: 31-71-5274999 >
