RE: [Aroid-l] Gonatopus species-Yup!

From: "Wilbert Hetterscheid" hetter at xs4all.nl> on 2006.09.29 at 04:13:22(14703) Hi Brian, It seems like this third form isn't G. boivinii. Where can we look at pictures of that? The large all-green knee-bearing form of G. boivinii is quite common here in cultivation beside the dark grey, striped one. They are definitely the same species: G. boivinii.
