Bull 1865. the hort. tag puts this one out of the running Next one: >Anthurium palmatifidum Van Houtte ex Schott 1865 >Anthurium palmatifidum Lem. 1846 The only reference I could find was for the Van Houtte ex Schott 1865. It is listed as nom. dubium >Also, what is going on with Anthurium scandens? A. scandens has so many subsp. and var. I think a great many are different species but any scandent anthurium was probobly given a varietal name of scandens when some may be distinct species. >I've been out of touch living in my own small world when someone >shattered my reality by saying that this name may be invalid. The name was validly published so it is valid. As follows: A. scandens (Aubl.) Engl., Fl. Bras. 3(2):78. 1878. 12 subspp. forms. and varieties are also listed, some in synonomy. >Please inform me of this. >I'm sure you'll be "hearing" more questions from me in the near future. >Thank You. >Robert Arias >Tampa, FL >rharias@juno.com > >___________________________________________________________________ >You don't need to buy Internet access to use free Internet e-mail. >Get completely free e-mail from Juno at http://www.juno.com/getjuno.html >or call Juno at (800) 654-JUNO [654-5866] > >
