Cyrtosperma chamissonis is one (there are several others!) of the many 'old' names for Cyrtosperma merkusii. Dr. Sue Thompson wrote a really informative paper (1982) about this plant in Micronesia under this older name. Good Growing, Julius +More Here is a link of what maybe Merkusii but it is listed as chamissonls I am not sure if this is another large species in the group in most cases I have seen it usually is Merkusii. I did have a great link to island page with a young woman in front of a huge patch of Merkusii that were around 20 feet tall. Huge plants with massive leaves. It seems this site is no longer up. This was the closest I have seen to it. http://www.botany.hawaii.edu/faculty/carr/images/cyr_cha_hab.jpg _______________________________________________ Aroid-l mailing list Aroid-l@gizmoworks.com http://www.gizmoworks.com/mailman/listinfo/aroid-l _______________________________________________ Aroid-l mailing list Aroid-l@gizmoworks.com http://www.gizmoworks.com/mailman/listinfo/aroid-l
