After
looking more closely at this one I agree, Zach. The
tubers and growing
habit do
resemble Zamioculcas.
I have
enclosed a picture of the inflorescence. taken at

Nice to
have it labeled correctly.

Re: [Aroid-l] Zamioculcas - like Gonatopus ?
There
are two forms of Zamioculcas zamiifolia
that are available. The most common is the
horticultural variety with glossy green
and very smooth leaves with broad, swollen
stems. The other, which I have heard
called the "wild form," is much more like
your photos, Jude, with the exception of
the variegation. The main growth (what
looks like a stem but is actually the
petiole, I believe) is thinner. Also, my
experience is that the "wild form" tends
to be more deciduous, whereas the
horticultural form tends to be more
evergreen.
Gonatopus
boivinii differs in structure, with
leaflets splayed out more horizontally,
similar to Amorphophallus, rather than all
along the vertical growth of the petiole.
My two cents,
Zach DuFran

I
will defer to Tom, of course. But to
me it looks like Gonatopus boivinii.
I was unaware of any variegated
varietals.
I
like G. boivinii very much and would
like to try other Gonatopus
species. I know this one is
invasive in some areas and is a
pest. But I still find them
beautiful. They are easily
propagated from leaflets stuck
upright into sphagnum. The ease of
making more is what contributes to
its invasiveness. They are also very
sensitive to over watering, and are
prone to rot.
Good
to "hear" your voice again, Jude! It
has been along time.
Happy
days,
Christopher

[Aroid-l]
Zamioculcas -
like Gonatopus ?
As some
of you might
know, I import
plants from
Thailand from
time to time
(with the
proper
paperwork, of
course) and a
recent
acquisition
has me
stumped.
These
are called
Variegated
Zamioculcas -
but the
petiole has
the kinks that
Gonatopus do.
Is there some
kind of new
Zamioculcas
species
floating
around that
hasn't hit the
mainstream
market yet?
The leaflets
are heavily
splashed with
creamy
variegation,
and are
slender and
more
elongated.
I'm
happy to share
a picture if
we are
allowed?
