Could you tell me if there is incompatibility in the genera of Spathiphyllum and Athurium. Is it possible to have fertilisation in vivo between any species of Spathiphyllum or Anthurium? Is it possible to have in vivo fertilisation between Spathiphyllum and Anthurium? If there is incompatibility, which kind is it: does it happen in the stigma, in the style,... or is there embryo abortion after fertilisation? If you are not familiar with this issue, do you know someone who can help me? Can you give me his address? I hope you can help me. Thanks a lot.
