Re: [aroid-l] Epipremnum

From: "Julius Boos" ju-bo at msn.com> on 2003.10.26 at 13:32:46(10720) Hi Eugene<< Dear Pete, Thanks so much for taking the time and trouble to post this exhaustive synonymy to this most interesting species, hopefully those with a better system than I have at present can keep this on file for the future! I guess I must ask when (and if) you may publish something on this species or group of species?? Do you know if blooms are also as rare in the native/wild populations as they seem to be in Florida??? I`m not clear on your comment below--"'wild type E. aureum is green (I.e., it resembles golden variegated E. aureum when it reverts)." Did you mean to say that the variegated form reverts to the green form, or is it the other way around??? Is the variegated form common in wild populations?? Keep up the good work! Sincerely, Julius +More 'wild type' E, aureum is green (i.e., it resembles golden variegated E. aureum when it reverts). There are very few collections of it from Moorea, although it's common and quite widespread in the remaining forest. The synonymy for E. pinnatum is: Epipremnum pinnatum (L.)

As explained elsewhere in this paper, the Philippine populations of E. pinnatum require a separate study to resolve their status.
