[Aroid-l] C. 'Fontanesii' id - Pete's id

Tony,
I am pretty sure that the 'Fontanesii' cultivar of C. esculenta is somewhere
in the gaoligongenis/lihengiae complex defined by glossy leaves and a
loosely stolonifeous habit combined with a short deep yellow spathe that
opens rather wide.
Very best
Peter
