Re: [Aroid-l] Way off subject!!

From: Adam Black <epiphyte1 at earthlink.net> on 1970.01.01 at 00:00:00 Steve,   Looks like Drimiopsis maculata (Hyacinthaceae). Not a true hosta but often goes by the common name of "African hosta" due to similarities in leaf shape. As the common name implies, it is a south African plant   Adam Black -----Original Message----- From: ExoticRainforest Sent: Sep 2, 2009 11:36 AM To: Discussion of aroids Subject: [Aroid-l] Way off subject!! This is way out of the realm of aroids but I have a lady asking is this is a Hosta?  I don't think so but I know zip about hostas other than we have several hundred in the yard.  Does anyone recognize the plant so I can give her some sort of answer?   It appears to be velutinous and I'd guess it was related to the Gesneriad family.
