Re: [Aroid-l] Are these seeds? Anthurium scandens

From: ExoticRainforest <Steve at ExoticRainforest.com> on 2010.07.23 at 19:36:35 Marek, I think Tom was referring to the apparent fact the name is no longer accepted.  Check this link: http://apps.kew.org/wcsp/namedetail.do?accepted_id=11673&repSynonym_id=-9998&name_id=11670&status=false Steve On 7/23/2010 02:18, Marek Argent wrote: Dear Tom,   The leaf blades of var. latifolium are 5.5x4 - 8x5.5 cm http://www.wschowa.com/abrimaal/araceum/anthurium/scandenslatif.htm   I got it from the Botanic Garden in Wroclaw, Poland http://www.biol.uni.wroc.pl/obuwr/kols/strony/antsce.html   For comparison here is the typical A. scandens (var. scandens - sometimes added) This is not my plant, so I can't tell anything about its measurements. http://www.wschowa.com/abrimaal/araceum/anthurium/scandens.htm   Marek     ----- Original Message ----- From: Tom Croat To: Discussion of aroids Sent: Friday, July 23, 2010 12:03 AM Subject: Re: [Aroid-l] Are these seeds? Anthurium scandens Dear Marek:                Anthurium scandens regularly sets seeds on its own without pollination so yes, those are surely good, viable seeds. Where did you come up with the name var. latifolium and how does it differ from var. scandens?   Tom   From: aroid-l-bounces@www.gizmoworks.com [mailto:aroid-l-bounces@www.gizmoworks.com] On Behalf Of Marek Argent Sent: Thursday, July 22, 2010 3:46 PM To: discussion of aroids Subject: [Aroid-l] Are these seeds? Anthurium scandens   Hello,   My Anthurium scandens var. latifolium blooms all the time and produces self-pollinated fruits. I always thought that they were empty inside until I checked yesterday. In each of them I found something small sticking to the inner fruit wall, one per each fruit. Are they parietal seeds? If yes are they mature? The scale is in mm. They are also visible in the inflorescence photo.   Best, Marek Argent     _______________________________________________ Aroid-L mailing list Aroid-L@www.gizmoworks.com http://www.gizmoworks.com/mailman/listinfo/aroid-l Nie znaleziono virusa w tej wiadomo¶ci przychodz±cej.
