Re: [Aroid-l] Dieffenbachia hoffmannii photo?

From: "John" <criswick at spiceisle.com> on 2010.03.01 at 19:19:59(20680) I cannot give a source for the name Dieffenbachia hoffmannii but I have in the 60s and 70s grown this Dieffenbachia, in fact it was a favourite of mine. The name is no longer valid, if it ever was, but D. 'Exotica' or 'arvida' may be a mutation of it, whatever it is. Both are said by Graf to be from Costa Rica. The accompanying illustration may perhaps answer questions about markings on stem and petiole. +More John. _____ From: aroid-l-bounces@gizmoworks.com [mailto:aroid-l-bounces@gizmoworks.com] On Behalf Of ExoticRainforest Sent: Saturday, February 27, 2010 1:54 PM To: Discussion of aroids Subject: Re: [Aroid-l] Dieffenbachia hoffmannii photo? According to all the Kew sites as well as TROPICOS there is no such species. Can you tell us the source of the name?

I would like to see the petioles with the leaves, if possible. I am trying to double check an ID. Thanks a lot for any help. Carol.
