Re: [Aroid-l] Zamioculcas - like Gonatopus ?

From: =?utf-8?Q?Eduardo_Gon=C3=A7alves?= <edggon at gmail.com> on 2018.08.07 at 14:24:33 Dear Pete,  It was amazing when I realize how convergent are aroids in many vegetative aspect. If you showed me this picture as being taken in Central Brazil, I would swear it was Spathicarpa gardneri. Probably they use the same gene cascading to produce such variegation pattern. I could also bet this new species grows in limestone cliffs or limestone rich soils, since many aroid species in Brazil produces this kind of variegation when growing in rich soils. Let me know if it is also true there.  Very best wishes,  Eduardo.  On 7 Aug 2018, at 00:34, Peter Boyce <phymatarum@gmail.com> wrote: Steve and all... I for one would be delighted to see Aroid-L with a new lease of life - the sheer quantity of "messages" I get when posting anything on FB has led me to being very selective, not to say the annoyance of trying to re-find a post that only moments earlier was on the screen but is now buried under a mass of images of peoples' food interspersed with persistent adverts for incontinence products. Anyhow... in the vein of sharing... here is a nice dwarf Schismatoglottis we are in the process of describing for inclusion in the next Aroideana.

Post away!

These are called Variegated Zamioculcas - but the petiole has the kinks that Gonatopus do. Is there some kind of new Zamioculcas species floating around that hasn't hit the mainstream market yet? The leaflets are heavily splashed with creamy variegation, and are slender and more elongated. I'm happy to share a picture if we are allowed?
