Yet more smallest Aroids

From: "Peter Boyce" <P.Boyce at lion.rbgkew.org.uk> on 1997.10.27 at 14:59:03(1498) Folks How about good ol' Bucephalandra motleyana and B. catherineae? Then there's Homalomena minutissima. The first time I encountered this is was growing on a huge sandstone boulder in a stream in Brunei. At first I thought it to be a foliaceous moss until I found the inflorescences. The largest plants are less than 2 cm high. The spathe 2 - 3 mm long. Now that's small!

Dear Pete, Wow... that's really small. I think this Homalomena is the smallest of all aroids... even smaller than Ambrosinia. It must to be pollinated by microbes!!! :-) +More Best wishes, Eduardo.

From: ERTELTJB at ctrvax.Vanderbilt.Edu on 1997.10.30 at 03:17:17(1559) Peter mentioned recently Bucephalandra motleyana, B. catherineae, and Homalomena minutissima. Does anyone actually grow any of these three species? I grow a majority of my plants in terrariums, along with several frogs, and these plants would be wonderful additions to my collection of more unusual material! Please email me with availability information. Doing so to my individual address will clog the list-serve less. Thanks in advance.
