  Re: [Aroid-l] Spathiphyllum ID

Emily, I would think Anthuriumplowmanii and Leland Miyano appears to agree via a private email. Dr. Croat once commented about a natural variation collected by FredFuchs in Bolivia which was being called Anthurium plowmaniiFruffles and Leland tended towards that variation. Jared, just in caseyou aren't aware, virtually all aroids have natural variations and theyare sometimes numerous. Basically, every plant in the species does nothave to appear exactly alike. You might want to take a look at mywebpage on the species here:

The top photo is by Enid Offolter who is well known to almost all of uson Aroid l. Take a look at her photo and see if the plants appear tobe the same. I made my name recommendation based on the shape of themid rib, what appears to be a U shaped petiole in one photo along withthe undulated leaf margins (ruffled edges) and the pale greenish colorof the spadix. If we had a photo of the spathe it would be possible tooffer a more postive ID (non-scientific on my part!).

By the way, I believe there are some tissue cultured specimens aroundso as a non-scientist I wouldn't dare suggest if the plant is aspecies or a hybrid.
