RE: Typhonium pedunculatum

From: "Hetterscheid, W." Hetter at Plantscope.nl> on 1999.12.16 at 16:50:37(3964) Dear Vic, In fact, it is a new species of which the name has not been officially published yet. Yours trule is going to do that, but the manuscript isn't finished. There will be a publication, maybe in one of the next Aroideana issues, with several new Typhonium species. John asked me in St. Louis, if he could use the name already and I said o.k. There's a thin line between what's wise and what isn't in such circumstances but I decided that everyone buyng the thing would be helped in already having a name attached to it, that is going to be the right one anyway. I have scans of the plant in flower, so if anyone wants to have that in his/her email, let me know (I hope only a FEW!!!!).
