  Re: Xanthosoma 'Microdot'

Dear Andy,

This is a new one to me! Where did the reference to this plant/name
originate?? It may be an Alocasia or Caladium sp., lots of mislabeling in
the Hort. buisness. The only Xanthosoma that I know of w/ 'dots' is a
small wild species called X. conspurcatum that we saw in Fr. Guyane, it had
white dots/spots on its leaves. Please keep us informed if you obtain or
have ANY information on where you first saw this name applied to a
Xanthosoma sp.

Best wishes,

Julius Boos
