Anthurium in St Vincent, Caribbean?

From: GeoffAroid at aol.com on 2001.07.09 at 14:26:41(6991) Hi All, Can someone tell me if there are any species of Anthurium commonly found in the Caribbean, in particular St Vincent? I recently was given seed of a plant labelled simply Anthurium "St Vincent", referring I assume to the collection locality. The plant had large leaves the size and shape of A. andreanum but the spathe was small and shrivelled while the spadix was about 8-10ins long with hundreds of small red berries. Not much of a description I know and I will try to get a photograph soon. The plant may of course have been introduced there in cultivation but if there are any naturally occuring species there I would be grateful if anyone (Tom?) could give me some pointers. +More Many thanks, Geoffrey Kibby London

I have a plant from Virgin Islands, and it is really close to Anthurium andreanum when sterile. Very best wishes, Eduardo. +More >From: GeoffAroid@aol.com >Reply-To: aroid-l@mobot.org >To: Multiple recipients of list AROID-L >Subject: Anthurium in St Vincent, Caribbean? >Date: Mon, 9 Jul 2001 09:26:39 -0500 (CDT) > >Hi All, >Can someone tell me if there are any species of Anthurium commonly found in >the Caribbean, in particular St Vincent?

From: "Ron Iles" roniles at eircom.net> on 2001.07.10 at 00:04:43(7001) Hi,Geoff, I am not surprised that the Spathe was shrivelled. After all that Amorpho stuff I'm surprised that you have much of a spadix at all. You aren't going to sow the devil berries are you? Perhaps someone who knows will tell Geoffrey what Vincent was canonised for....? I would be a bit more careful wot you keep in your apartment (flat to British) especially with your earlier mite omens. Bless You!

Dear Geoffrey: I am sure that I can give you a name on that St. Vincent collection with a photograph. The West Indies does not have so many species and most are quite well known.
