Re: [aroid-l] Abasia borneo?

From: "Derek Burch" derek at horticulturist.com> on 2003.11.24 at 11:17:15(10855) Unfortunately 'Tropical Gardening' has its strange aspects. I am sure that the origin of 'Abasia' may lie in sloppy proofreading. If you go to the Ree Gardens section of their site at the address David gives, you will see a weird introductory paragraph, and, under the picture of crotons the statement "The genetic variations displayed by croutons are always a welcome surprise. " Anything goes ... ! Derek +More -----Original Message----- On Behalf Of plantsman Sent: Monday, November 24, 2003 1:24 AM To: aroid-l@lists.ncsu.edu Subject: [aroid-l] Abasia borneo? This is one that perhaps Dewey knows about. Ree Gardens, owned by Steve and Marie Nock in Pinecrest, FL shows an aroid featured on the Tropicalgardening.com website that they describe at Abasia borneo, but looks suspiciously like some kind of Alocasia: http://www.tropicalgardening.com/ReeGardens/reegardens2.html I'm not familiar with the genus Abasia. Can anyone check this out? David Sizemore Kingsport, TN (Zone 6a)
