Re: [Aroid-l] "minature" M. deliciosa??

From: <abri1973 at wp.pl> on 2007.02.05 at 21:05:35(15226) Hello, This "compact" Monstera deliciosa is named M.d. "Borsigiana" or sometimes M.d. var. borsigiana, but this is rather a cultivar, not a natural variety. The largest leaf I've seen was about 40 cm (1' 4") in diameter. http://www.wschowa.com/abrimaal/araceum/monstera/pertusa.htm Don't be deceived by the filename "pertusa", once I thought it was M. pertusa, and I don't change filenames in my website because some other sites have direct links to my pages.

Dear All, A question--what is the status of the existence of a true 'minature' clone of Monstera deliciosa, and what, it it does exist, are the measurements of a MATURE leaf of this mimature????? I THINK I remember a discussion on this back when we exchanged ideas about the non-existence of the 'red-varigated' clone of the same species which, I believe, turned out to be a photo-shopped/modified picture of the white-varigated variety of this species. I THINK I recall someone saying that the common and BIG clone of this was a selection from the wild, and if one went back to the area where this plant occured in Coastal Mexico, one would have difficulty in finding such a large clone, most wild plants of this species were substantially smaller that the big one we see everywhere in cultivation Worldwide. Any information would be welcome! Good Growing!
