RE: RE: [Aroid-l] Id please: Anthurium tissumi ???

From: "Tom Croat" <Thomas.Croat at mobot.org> on 2007.06.11 at 18:51:24(15769) Dear Peter: Ecuador is a big step forward but that still leaves probalby 150 species, most of which are relatively similar from that viewpoint. Who did you get this plant from? Don’t they know more precisely where it came from? Most of the species that look like this are members of Anthurium sect. Porphyrochitonium and that group has lots of new species. You plant could likewise be new but without something more firm regarding its locality it will remain only a curiousity.

Dear Tom, yes, I cheked the name too and couldn't find anything similar. locality = Ecuador (At least it was told to me to be so (And I hope this is still something similar to english ;-))) Blade = Blatt [ger] yes inflorescence = don't have any What are cataphylls ?? Thanks Peter Tom Croat wrote: Dear Peter: There is no such name and unfortunately there are scores of species that look like this based on your photo. I suspect you have no locality but if you did that would help. Also can you not take pictures showing the blades close up, the stem with the cataphylls and an inflorescence if one exists.
