Are you aware that Dr. Croat just finished a Revision of Pachyneurium? The book is available from Dr. Croat.... Also, please go to our web page... There you will find a membership application for the International Aroid Society Dewey Fisk +More President, International Aroid Society >Dear Aroiders, > >I´m new at the Listserver and the Internet.

From: MOTO_DO at t-online.de (Thomas Mottl) on 1998.08.25 at 14:52:39(2560) Dear Aroiders Thank you for all answers I received. Iam really surprised about that. It is a rhizomatous plant, epihytic (it grows best in hydroculture). The flower of this plant is typical for the genus Anthurium. The spathe is green, the peduncles are much longer than the petioles. (The petioles = only +More 3-4 cm). The plant smells so ugly that my wife always told me to cut them.:-). And it makes self berries without pollinate by an other flower like for example. A. scandens. The leaves are wavy like the A. = plowmannii but not so broad. Another curious and remarkable thing is that this anthurium is a magnet = for plant-louse. Only this plant is attacked by them no other Aroid at home. Every summer I must fight against them. I have no pictures but will make some and send it. I never made some, because in Germany is the interest on aroids really small. There some = people interested in Cryptocoryne and great Mr. Bogner as a scientist. So i never make photos of my own plants - I see them every day and I = never known anybody who was interessted in looking "stupid Aroids". . I think when the pictures arrived somebody knows this plant, but it´s definetly not A. paraguayense and A. plowmanni. Thomas Mottl
