Re: [Aroid-l] Colocasia antiquorum

From: Sherry Gates <thetropix at msn.com> on 2014.09.09 at 17:11:17(23104) Hi everyone!  Hope you're all doing very well.  I just want to make sure I have this right regarding the name of this Colocasia.    Does that mean that Colocasia Illustris & Black Beauty should be labeled Colocasia fontanesii var. Illustris   &   C. fontanesii var. Black Beauty?   I know it's a goofy question, I just want to make sure I'm understanding correctly. : )                    Are there any of the Colocasias that are antiquorum, or is antiquorum an obsolete/invalid name?               Is C. Black Beauty is a sport or a hybrid of C. Illustris?                       Thanks and I hope y'all have a wonderful week!                                                          Sherry  HTML +More                                                                    Sherry Gates TheTropix@msn.com Date: Tue, 9 Sep 2014 11:06:54 +0800 From: phymatarum@gmail.com To: aroid-l@www.gizmoworks.com Subject: Re: [Aroid-l] Colocasia antiquorum George, Yes, correct. Sadly, no reference as yet - Bogner is working on this! Peter On 3 September 2014 15:29, George Yao <geoyao@gmail.com> wrote: Peter, Thanks for the info! So Colocasia esculenta var. antiquorum (Schott) Hubb. & Rehder and Colocasia antiquorum Schott are now Colocasia fontanesii Schott, am I right? If so, where can I find the reference?
