RE: Typhonium pedunculatum

From: Victor Soukup soukupvg at email.uc.edu> on 1999.12.15 at 14:58:53(3955) Like MJ, I bought a plant of Typhonium "pedunculatum"at the IAS meeting. It was one of a group of various plants which John Banta brought to the meeting (if I am wrong please correct me) and on returning home I tried to place this name in the proper place within Typhonium. Typhonium pedunculatum is not among the species which Sriboonma and Murata accepted in their revision of the genus five years ago. Therefore, what is it: a newly described species or an obscure synonym, or--? I wrote to John and put the question to him some while ago and have not had a response. Since I have a vital interest in the genus, I would appreciate whatever info anyone can supply about this plant. Based on the response from Wilbert, I assume that he considers it a "good" species. I want to include it as one of the species to be examined in a molecular study of the genus, but only if we know something about it. Thenks for any help anyone can provide.
