[Aroid-l] Philodendron crassinervium inflorescence

From: ExoticRainforest <Steve at ExoticRainforest.com> on 2009.08.15 at 12:56:50(19725) Thanks a bunch Tom. I received thescan last night and will add it to the page. The thing I find very interesting is Schott's illustration doesn'tappear to match some of your field notes on TROPICOS. Mauro Piexoto ofBrazil Plants allowed me to use one of his photos of two inflorescencesof P. crassinervium which are "boat shaped" as your notesstate they should be. Could this indicate that Schott actuallydescribed something that no longer exists or possibly either of theplants we know as Philodendron lanceolatum or Philodendronalternans? As I told you privately neither Marcus Nadruz norEduardo Gonçalves appear to believe P. alternans should beconsidered a synonym. There seems to always be more to learn.
