Re the two pictures on your web site.... The first Raphidophora (the one on the left with the white veins) looks just like the Raphidophora sp I photographed at Fairchild Gardens in Florida. Fairchild did not key this out to species. It was the best guess of a gentleman at The Glasshouse Works (http://www.rareplants.com) who, after my description, felt that it was R. celatocaulis. I will try to post my snap shots on line next weekend and you can see for your self, but with just a cursory examination of your pictures and mine, I would say they are the same thing. Perhaps someone can refer me to a monograph of Raphidophora? I am new to Aroids and don't have any good reference material yet. jack in Portland Oregon
