From: eduardo gomes goncalves <eggon at guarany.cpd.unb.br> on 1997.09.19 at 13:04:43(1268) Dear Paul, I think this name is a mispelling of Caladium bicolor var. rubicundum Engler. I was originally published in Flora Brasiliensis, 3(2):181 and there is also a good plate of it in the same work (plate 41). The type was collected in Northern South America (somewhere between Northern Brazil (state of Para) and Suriname). I hope it helps, Eduardo. +More On Thu, 18 Sep 1997, Paul Resslar wrote: > Aroiders: > > Can anyone tell me who the author is of the binomial Caladium > rubracundrum and where the discription was published?
