Dear Marek

The only person who I believe can give you a totally accurate answer on thi
s question is Dr. Goncalves in Brazil.
We had a long discussion on some photos of plants much like these a couple
of years ago on aroid-l.
I will offer my OPINION that the plants in your photos are X. sagittifolium
because of the all-green blades I recall that the ones I.D.`d by Eduard
o a while ago also had darkened petioles but the leaf blades were a ''cl
ean'' green like those in your photos unlike the blades of X. violacium/
nigrum in which there are traces of the purple color. The spathes will al
so reflect these colors..

Sincerely
