Alocasia & Anthurium

From: GeoffAroid at aol.com on 2000.04.25 at 23:34:23(4419) Dear aroiders, Firstly a request and then an offer: The request is for an identification. I purchased yesterday an unnamed, beautiful Alocasia. It has a patterned stem like A. zebrina but the arrow-shaped leaves are plain green with bold white veins and scalloped margins. I think it might be A. micholitziana but the leaves on my plant point vertically and the only picture I have seen of that species seemed to show the leaves bending down at right angles to the stem like most other Alocasia species. Any suggestions? I will try and get a pic on the web a.s.a.p. +More The offer: my plant of Anthurium scandens var leucodendron has long spikes of beautiful white berries; it is a very vigorous and healthy clone. I expect most of the US growers have this plant already but maybe others of you out there in Aroid land would like some? I will be happy to send seed to anyone who asks, be patient since it takes a while to clean and wash the seed, wrap in damp tissue and pack in padded envelopes etc. Also my A. trinerve is berrie d up again, deep lavendar-violet berries. No charge of course but if you have any interesting aroid seeds to offer let me know. Particularly keen on Anthuriums and Amorphophallus but will try almost anything (e.g. I am trying to find Remusatia with no success)! Reply to my email for seeds not the List please. Was in Amorphophallus heaven yesterday at Kew Gardens, lots of species in flower including the largest flower of A. bulbifer I have ever seen (spathe around 12ins), didnt realise they could get that big!
