Small Aroids

From: plantnut at shadow.net (Dewey Fisk) on 1997.10.24 at 16:06:40(1493) Her's a couple more very small aroids... Anthurium bessei can be seen at: and Caladium humboldtii var. Marcel.. This is one of the prettiest.. and it only gets about an inch or two high!!!! Dewey +More Dewey E. Fisk, Plant Nut THE PHILODENDRON PHREAQUE Your Source for Tropical Araceae

For years it was dwarfed (Donna Atwood thinks it was due to an overdose of something) but when I saw it recently it was many times larger, with leaf blades to ca 25 cm long. I am sure glad I was patient on this new species! By the way if we really want to talk about small aroids we do have to consider Lemna. While currently in the Lemnaceae molecular work has shown that group to be practically inseparable from Pistia and the Kew group will be proposing it to be subsumed within the Aroideae as a close relative of Pistia.

From: plantnut at shadow.net (Dewey Fisk) on 1997.10.28 at 14:42:35(1537) Another small one that is on the "Totally Magnificient" side of the Araceae.... Homalomena pygmae. I thionk that is the right spelling. Dark red foliage top and bottom very small little inflorescenses that have creamy white spadix. Not the smallest mentioned but at about foru to six inches high... It is a real beauty! I picked up one at the IAS meeting last night! Dewey +More Dewey E. Fisk, Plant Nut THE PHILODENDRON PHREAQUE Your Source for Tropical Araceae

From: "Carlo A. Balistrieri" <cabalist at facstaff.wisc.edu> on 1997.10.28 at 23:42:05(1546) Tom, Thanks for the clarification. It's interesting that it could at one point look so small and suddenly put on a growth spurt. In my limited experience, Anthuriums have been fairly steady growers.
