RE: [Aroid-l] Xanthosoma? Please help to ID

From: "Eduardo Goncalves" edggon at hotmail.com> on 2005.10.10 at 14:47:06(13421) Dear Frank, In my opinion, it is a young Xanthosoma atrovirens. Probably it has a completely orange flesh on tubers ("chubas"?) Xanthosoma atrovirens is one of the most variable species in the genus. Completely green form are also common. +More Very best wishes, Eduardo. Dr. Eduardo G.

Please help to ID Date: Fri, 7 Oct 2005 12:23:16 +0200 (MEST) Dear members, some time ago I have bought some "taro" bulbs on Ebay. On the pictures below is the resulting plant. I would like to know what species it could be. I would guess it is Xanthosoma lindenii "purpurea"...What do you think. http://img290.imageshack.us/img290/4282/dscf00130hg.jpg http://img290.imageshack.us/img290/8066/dscf00149na.jpg http://img290.imageshack.us/img290/323/dscf00159dx.jpg Any ideas are welcome. thanx a lot!
