RE: Xanthosoma 'Microdot'

From: Andy Cabe acabe at Riverbanks.org> on 2002.01.30 at 20:02:43(8097) Julius, I'll have to do some digging to find out where we got it from. It is an accessioned plant in our botanical garden. I'm not the one who aquired it. I'll try and send a photo and maybe it can be identified.

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 ju-bo@msn.com >>Hello, Is anyone familiar with a plant called Xanthosoma 'Microdot'. I'm interested in getting some info on it. I haven't found a reference to it anywhere. Thanks, Andy
