Re: identity of the dwarf Monstera deliciosa

Dear Pete and Friends,
I`m JUST back from a few days in Fr. Guyana, so am not 'up' on this
discussion, but have read where you ID the 'Dwarf' Monstera deliciosa as a
Raphidophora from Malasia. There is, however, a small ('Dwarf'?) true form
of varigated Monstera deliciosa around in collections here in Florida, the
leaves are about 6"-8" in Dia., and it seems to have more of a climbing
habit and has longer internodes than the 'regular' Monstera deliciosa.
Which one are we refering to? Hermine seems to have the 'true' one.
Cheers,
Julius

I've only recently been lucky enough to study flowering material of the
'dwarf Monstera deliciosa' in Munich B.G. so it's new info.
