From: "Famille FERRY" jpcferry2 at wanadoo.fr> on 2006.10.01 at 17:10:18(14723) Hello , I am surprised to re-examine this photograph. I had forgotten. David Scherberich and me even, planes accomodated very well by Josef Bogner. The collection of Arac?es of Munich is incredible : the paradise!

The Markusii that Brian sent a link of from Hawaii doesnt look "exactly" like the one that is growing at Fairchild. It may very well be the same plant, since I am no expert. But it appears that the leaf on the one that Brian sent a link to has a softer leaf almost like a Xanthosoma Sagitifollia when compared to an Alocasia Odora leaf. Here is a link to the plant that looks identical to the one growing at Fairchild: http://dscherberich.free.fr/MUNICH/cyrtomerkusiim.html Again they very well may be the same plant, or a variation of the same plant. Thanks Eric --- Brian Williams wrote: 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 __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
