Geoffrey: I have a few specimens of Anchomanes hookeri which Phil Mueller sent me some years ago. Mine have not shown banding such as I see at your WWW site. I think I may have photos of mine somewhere which I can scan and put on my WWW site. At the moment, it is putting up new leaves and the only remaining ones are somewhat tattered, so I can't take a new one right now.
