[aroid-l] Xanthosoma "roseum"

From: "Eduardo Goncalves" edggon at hotmail.com> on 2003.01.27 at 00:59:22(9887) Dear Susan, The only species that fits this description is Xanthosoma robustum, that is, in my opinion, a synonim of Xanthosoma roseum. It ranges from Mexico to Guatemala and probably even more to the south. It is widely available in Florida as Xanthosoma sagittifolium ("malanga-blanca")!!!! In fact, I wasn?t able to find a real Xanthosoma sagittifolium growing in Florida!!! Very best wishes, Eduardo. +More Reply-To: aroid-l@lists.ncsu.edu To: aroid-l@lists.ncsu.edu Subject: Re: [aroid-l] Anthurium regale and Zanthosoma roseum Date: Fri, 24 Jan 2003 13:56:33 -0800 Speaking of bigger plants (other than Anthurium) someone sent a photo for ID of a Zanthosoma labled 'roseum' with a man standing under the petiols and the leaves were HUGE and were up three times his height. I would be interested in knowing if that particular plant was ever ID'd and what was it and is it available anywhere?.....but that's not to say that I don't desire seeds from Anthurium regale!
