Fitch photo (fwd)

From: "Richard Mansell (BIO)" <mansell at chuma.cas.usf.edu> on 1997.06.19 at 23:56:16(876) Greetings: here is a slightly edited copy of a message I received from Wilbert. The mistery of photo 129 seems to be solved. We shall wait further developments.

This is a plant from the same clone you'll see in Aroideana Vol. 19 under Am. parvulus! In fact, I got material of this via Bogner, who got it from Fitch himself. Only this week have I learned from additional material from Thailand, that it is NOT Am. parvulus and most probably an undescribed species! I have always counted with this because there are a few characters in Fitch's plant that do not fit the type of Am. parvulus. Now that I have had a REAL parvulus flowering, I saw these differences confirmed. So you can tell Mr. Fitch this story and if he wants to, he can co-author the species with me. If you have his current address, can you email it to me? Cheers, Wilbert
