[Aroid-l] Does this Anthurium look familiar?

From: epiphyte1 at earthlink.net (Adam Black) on 2008.01.29 at 17:51:36(17008) Hi Windy, I bought this plant from Tropiflora years ago that was tagged as A. rzedowskii, but quickly learned it didn't match the description of the true A. rzedowskii: http://www.aroid.org/genera/anthurium/belolonchium/rzedow.html Back then, I also asked on this list for help in identifying this plant. The only helpful response I remember was from Dewey Fisk (couldn't find it in the archives, may have been a private email) saying that this plant had appeared for sale from time to time under this name, and that they all originated directly from a grower in Hawaii. Unfortunately the nursery was unable to provide any helpful details on this plant's origin. Attached is a picture of my plant that sadly dropped dead for unknown reasons the year I purchased it. It was a very distinctive plant, with the overlapping lobes and thick bulate leaves held upward on long petioles. I have not seen this plant available anywhere since then, but hope to come across another to add to my collection. Hope this was of some help.
