From: botanist at malesiana.com (Peter Boyce) on 2008.05.28 at 09:40:52(17633) Hi Dany, I agree; I was too hasty to name it as 'Polly' and I am sure you are nearer the mark in suggesting it may be a mutation of 'Polly' ----- Original Message ----- +More From: bs246466 at skynet.be To: botanist at malesiana.com Sent: Wednesday, May 28, 2008 4:45 PM Subject: RE: Re: [Aroid-l] Alocasia Bebe ? New dwarf plant . Hi mr Boyce I have 'polly' here also and the plant seem very different.the mid rib and the shape of the plant is very different also as the size of the plant.But the thick texture seem to be the same on the 2 plants.maybe a 'polly' mutation of the 'amazonica polly' ? -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

From: botanist at malesiana.com (Peter Boyce) on 2008.05.28 at 23:45:21(17637) Hi, Whatever it is it is not young longiloba; in fact I am doubtful that pure 'longiloba' is involved. If it is a mutation of a cv or hybrid then my hunh is that the bloodlines include 'lowii' and something Philippino such as sanderiana; so a bloodline similar to that of x Amazonica ('lowii' x sanderiana).

From: denis at skg.com (Denis) on 2008.05.29 at 14:34:38(17642) Question: Where did this plant origianate? Is it in tissue culture commercial production or is this something someone is manually propagating 'bebe' the old fashioned way? Maybe if we can find out where and who this thing is from we could stop speculatinig and ask the producer or originator what 'bebe' really is, either hybrid, a sport of an existing cultivar or a slightly different form of a species.
