Auction Plant list

From: alan at unity.ncsu.edu on 2000.09.05 at 04:14:17(5340) On Saturday evening, Sept. 23 in Miami, the International Aroid Society will have its plant auction as part of its annual show. The IAS invites members of the Aroid-l mailing list to partake in the bidding process. The following plants will be auctioned to the highest bidder.... +More -------------- The Following plants have grown one new leaf since May when they arrived at a Miami nursery. Items 1-6 were sent by Joep Moonen in French Guyana and grown by Denis Rotolante: ITEM #1 ======= one Philodendron linneae cutting -- vining type with rosette of thick, linear, spatulate leaves medium green in color. looks like it will make a nice plant once it grows a few roots. ITEM #2 ======= one Philodendron Polpoides-- a deeply lobed vining type. Very little leaf blade between the veins. ITEM #3 ======= two cuttings Philodendron callosum -- the two cuttings have sprouted and produced small rosettes of linear dark green leaves. Looks very interesting. *** to be auctioned as 2 separate plants *** ITEM #4 ======= three plants (tip cuttings) of Anthurium moonenii-- all have sprouted one leaf and although the leaf is usually three lobed, one of the three has only a single middle lobe and no side lobes. This is a new species to Horticulture and is still quite rare in collections, Dr. Croat just named it two years ago. I have a large specimen here at the nursery that is growing on a cypress pole. It appears each of the three lobes ultimately get about 30 to 40 cm long and about 10-12 cm wide, with a petiole 60 cm long. I will try and bring that plant to the show even though it hasn't really gotten to far up the pole yet so that people can see the mature size of this lovely plant. *** to be auctioned as 3 separate plants *** ITEM #5 ======= three cuttings Philodendron billietii long leaf form -- very nice elongated leaf form of this nice, new species. Each of the three cutting is a different plant size small medium and large. I guess the high bid will get the biggest plant of it. *** to be auctioned as 3 separate plants *** ITEM #6 ======= one cutting of Phlodendron billietii -- the type form, nice plant, likes bright light, grows easy. ITEM #7 ======= Also, two of the highly prized and often sought after seedlings of Anthurium reflexinervium in 4" pots. These come to us courtesy of the Harry Luther and Donna Atwood at Marie Selby Gardens. Of the ten seed they sent me only two germinated (typical for this species), though slow growing(also typical)these two appear to be as robust as they can be, they have just been stepped up to the 4" pots two months ago and have not fully grown in yet. *** to be auctioned as 2 separate plants *** ITEM #8 ======= Alocasia 'stoloniferous - N. Thailand' - Peter Boyce thinks this is a new species.

This species makes intercalary bulbils. ITEM #11 ======== Taccarum weddelianum ITEM #12 ======== Amorphophallus arnautovii - a species from Vietnam with 2 notable characteristics: leaves that are evergreen (stay up for 2 to 3 years) and tubers that do not disappear each year, giving it the 'chain of tubers' appearance.
