Title: Re: [Aroid-l] Arum lily (reed)
frog

Does anyone
on the list know of references, reprints of articles, or research on
the relationship of the Arum lily (reed) frog, Hyperolius
horstocki, and the arum lily,
Zantedeschia aethiopica? This tiny frog (I believe endemic to
South African Fynbos) inhabits the inflorescence of the Arum lily and
can change its color to match its background inside the Arum lily for
camoflauge. Beyond that I am having difficulty locating much
information on this cool little creature, and would like to know more
if anyone has experience with it.

Thanks for your help,

Emily
Emily,

Here's a site with an illustration of one clutching a
spadix:

if you enter
the scientific name into the google search engine, several sites come
up with information.
