Unknown Anthurium Identified.

From: "Jaime Rodriguez" <jaime at matnet.com> on 1997.10.22 at 17:27:36(1463) Thank you to everyone who answered my post about the mystery anthurium. Many of you suggested a. bakeri, and I think you are correct. I am unable to take a photo of it. I don't have a camera or a scanner, and the plant lives fifty miles away. I was over zealous in my description of the leaves. It really does match the description of a. bakeri in Hortus 3. Special thanks to Sue for the description out of the book... "Bakeri Hook. f. Sts. stout, very short; Lf. blades linear, to 2 ft. long and 2/12 in. wide, tapering equally toward each end, dark green, petioles to 6 in. long; peduncle twice as long as petiole, spathe reflexed, oblong, to 2 in. long, green, spadix longer, to 8 in. long in fr., yellow-green; berries ovoid, 3/8 in. long, acute, scarlet. Costa Rica." Jaime Rodriguez +More P.O. Box 871394 Wasilla, Alaska, 99687 USDA Zone 3 & 4 jaime@matnet.com http://www.matnet.com/jaime/
