Spathicarpa inflorescence

From: "Petra Schmidt" petra at plantdelights.com> on 2002.01.31 at 16:15:52(8107) I've seen this in Anthurium sect. Pachyneurium in the past, but this is the first in Spathicarpa...3 peduncles fused together from its growing point to the spathe delineation...so, the fused peduncle is 13 cm long, 8 mm wide with a few obscure ribs, and holds 3 separate spathes...sort of like a 3-headed monster. The same plant also has a spathe with a second distorted spathe formed at the base of a normal spathe...
