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

From: "Tom Croat" <Thomas.Croat at mobot.org> on 2007.06.11 at 18:54:36(15770) Peter: Sorry, I forgot to mention cataphylls. These are the little bract-like structures from which the new leaf emerges. They may fall off after the new leaf emerges but more likely they are persistent as fibers, remaining attached to the stem.

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.
