Re: Fenestrated aroids

From: "Neal R. Foster" <nealfost at umich.edu> on 1997.01.14 at 15:19:05(121) Hermine, you're thinking of the Madagascar Lace Leaf Plant, Apotamogeton (spelling?) fenestralis, which Albert Greenberg of Everglades Aquatic Nurseries in Tampa used to sell to aquarists back in the 1950's and 1960's. Albert contracted river blindness (or some other tropical parasite or disease that causes blindness) while collecting aquatic plants in Madagascar. This is not an aroid, but I don't know what plant family it does belong to. Neal R.
