Re: [Aroid-l] Introduction / true to species material of Anthurium

From: Tom Croat <Thomas.Croat at mobot.org> on 2014.09.28 at 03:47:05(23113) Simon: Send me images of you plant that you bought from Ecuagenera and I will see if I can determine it. Most of the material from Ecuagenera, though of wild origen is often not really determined to species.

Since a long time I have tried to source material of true to species Anthurium scherzerianum. I remember that when I was in my teens, A. scherzerianum was still easy to find from florists (which back then often still propagated plants from their own stock, instead of offering laboratory produced 'mass crops' as is the norm today), but since then the true species has disappeared in favour of Anthurium hybrids - which, in The Netherlands unfortunately are still offered as A. scherzerianum. Should any one of you be growing botanically pure material of A. scherzerianum, I would be much interested in obtaining either cuttings, or fresh berries that preferably are the result of controlled pollination, for which I am willing to pay. I therefore kindly request anyone having material to share to contact me privately. > > Looking forward to hear from you, and with best regards, > > Simon M.
