[Aroid-l] silver stripes species ..Epipremnum or what ?

From: botanist at malesiana.com (Peter Boyce) on 2008.07.22 at 05:52:04(18211) In the wild E. amplissimum occurs in forms with plain green and silver-striped leaved juveniles; the main range of the species in New Guinea & NE Australia. Much hunch is that it originates from PNG. Incidentally a few other aroid lianes have simlar plain and variously silver-striped leaf forms as juveniles, including Scindapsus treubii, S. hederaceus & S. pictus.

Hi Michael, Yes, this is Epipremum amplissimum; it can get VERY large as an adult and sadly as an adult also loses the silver markings.
