Re: [Aroid-l] Dracontium amazonense variagated

From: "Wilbert Hetterscheid" <hetter at xs4all.nl> on 2009.09.11 at 20:19:41(20005) I have had several species with plants with and without this variegation that usually diasppears in larger specimens (amazonense, pittieri, polyphyllum). I think it is innate to the genus, not a disease.
