Alocasia Polly + lowii

From: "zonneveld" zonneveld at rulbim.leidenuniv.nl> on 2002.03.14 at 17:52:15(8286) Earlier I reported the following ( see below) about Alocasia lowii. Although I did not get a response I will continue with some more results. This time we look at Alocasia x amazonica Polly It is clear from the leaf that it is thicker then the standard x amazonica were it came from via tc. I measured an equal piece of leaf and found 14 mg for the standard and 20 mg for Polly so that fits HOWEVER it turns out that the DNA is equal ie 10.1 pg So Polly is not a polyploid EARLIER: THanks Julius for the likely cv status of A. Tigrina Superba Now I have a more difficult one I suppose From the leaves provided by Denis from Silver Krome Gardens, I measured for Alocasia lowii Veitchii 22.3 pg and for A lowii Grandis 18.4 pg So in my opinion they are different species.Any comment would be welcome Ben J.M.Zonneveld Clusius lab pobox 9505 2300 RA Leiden +More The Netherlands mintemp-16C(5F) Zonneveld@RULbim.LeidenUniv.NL Fax: 31-71-5274999
