Re: Xanthosoma maculatum

From: "brian williams" pugturd50 at hotmail.com> on 2001.07.02 at 16:35:32(6935) Hello Julius and others. Here is what I think. It seems their are a few plants that look just like Alocasia Hilo beauty. I have seen a Schismatoglottis that looked just like it at a young age but as it got older the leafs were longer than a Hilo beauty's. Also their does seem to be a Xanthosoma out their that looks just like a Hilo beauty I have one under the name COLOCASIA [XANTHOSOMA] MACULATUS. Debbie Swarts at Deb's Touch of the Tropics These PICS are from her site. She seems to have both plants and compares them very well. this is her comparing the two next to each other. http://www.touchofthetropics.com/images/aroids/x-jacquinii_a-hilobeauty.jpg This PIC is shows its size is larger and the lobes of the leaf look more like a Xanthosoma. At least i think so. what do you all think? http://www.touchofthetropics.com/images/aroids/xanth_jacquinii.jpg A leaf of this unknown plant http://www.touchofthetropics.com/images/aroids/xanth_jacquinii_100200.jpg +More _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com
