Identification request from Kaichen Nursery

From: "Bjoern Malkmus" bjoern.malkmus at verwaltung.uni-mainz.de> on 2000.06.15 at 21:46:41(4789) Dear Aroiders, following an e-mail from Chen Yi, China. Maybe someone has an idea what this plant might be (at least to which genus it might belong to) ? I don't have any clue (well, I know the description is "kind of" vague and VERY detailed ...) Cheers, Bj?rn Malkmus +More http://malkmus.de +++ There are some new species of Arisaema just found on my fieldwork, among them, there is a very peculiar species, its spathe is double. This is to say, there are TWO spathes together on one plant. It grows in damp places beside ditches at 2900 metres above sea level, on where did not found any other Arisaema species mixed growing together, only this species, about there are 200 plants on this place, and every one plant all with a doubled-spathe. I have never before been so different as this condition of Arisaema, I am sorry I cannot find any information concerning the double-spathe on my all of the books... :-( I will be very interested in your ideas, would you be able to spare a few minutes to advise me something about it? or provide some information to me? +++

From: "George R Stilwell, Jr." grsjr at juno.com> on 2000.06.17 at 00:38:24(4801) Double spathes have been noted on several Arisaema here. They usually occur when the plant reaches maximum size and maturity just before throwing off many pups and disintegrating. I remember seeing them on A. triphyllum, A. dracontium, and possibly on A. tortuosum but I can't remember the other species. I suspect the double spathe has nothing to do with the species ID of Chen Yi's plants. +More Ray GRSJr@Juno.com ________________________________________________________________ YOU'RE PAYING TOO MUCH FOR THE INTERNET!

From: Pugturd at aol.com on 2000.06.17 at 01:34:53(4810) Hello this si Brian Williams. Yes, I would like some help identifying a plant I do not have any pictures posted yet but will soon. It was sold to me a Remusatia But I believe it to be a Colocasia. I will post when the picture is Up THANKS Hopefully someone can tell.

Note: this is a very old post, so no reply function is available.
