Re: [aroid-l] Epipremnum

From: "Peter Boyce" peterboyce at myjaring.net> on 2003.10.25 at 09:24:01(10719) Hi Eugene 'wild type' E, aureum is green (i.e., it resembles golden variegated E. aureum when it reverts). There are very few collections of it from Moorea, although it's common and quite widespread in the remaining forest. The synonymy for E. pinnatum is: Epipremnum pinnatum (L.) Engl. in Engl., Pflanzenr. 37 (IV.23B) (1908) 60 - Pothos +More pinnatus L., Sp. Pl., ed. 2 (1763) 1374 ('pinnata') - Monstera pinnata (L.) Schott, Wien. Zeit.

As explained elsewhere in this paper, the Philippine populations of E. pinnatum require a separate study to resolve their status. Given the varied nature of the syntypes cited by Engler, no attempt at lectotypification will be made here. Epipremnum merrillii Engl. & K.
