  Spathiphyllum 'Alfa'
From: Pieter Colpaert pieter_cactus at yahoo.co.uk> on 2003.11.14 at 08:25:00(10800)
Hello,
I'm new on this group. I am Pieter Colpaert from Belgium and I'm a
master student in bio-engineering.
For my thesis, I am working on the genetics for flower induction of
Spathiphyllum cv. 'Alfa'. And I am still looking for some additional
information on this plant to use in the introduction.
I do know that this is a hybrid between Spathiphyllum cv. 'Daniel' and
Spathiphyllum cv. 'Pallas'. But does someone here know what botanical
species these cultivars are made of? I think S. floribundum and S.
wallisii are among the ancestors. Am I correct? Or are there still
others involved?
Thanks,
Pieter

Peter: I suggest that you contact Ron Iles at roniles@eircom.net or Jake
Henny at RJHENNY@mail.ifas.ufl.edu They are the only ones likely to know
this taxon.

Hi Pieter!

Wouldn't it be good to know the parentages (pedigrees!!!!) of all these
wonderful modern Spathiphyllum hybrids? I hope to respond in serious fun
this week. You are in EUROPE. So have you living accommodation for >fifty
of the 45 or so Spathiphyllum "species"?

Cheers

Ron

May I add my 2 cents of scepticism in matters of cultivar parentage........
I think the quest for parentage in modern cultivars in hybrid complexes is a
futile excercise. Most of this kind of knowledge is part of the industrial
secret of companies who produce these CULTA, NOT TAXA, TOM CROAT!!........
:-), or did you forget my presentation in St. Louis some 7 years
ago...........?
