[Aroid-l] seeking unusual specimens

From: Steve at ExoticRainforest.com (ExoticRainforest) on 2008.03.05 at 15:00:18(17127) A followup on my request: I am aware that Rhaphidophora guamensis does not show up on any official list. I'm not certain if the name I have is a misspelling or one that is not yet officially published. If any of you know anything on these, please let me know. Steve +More I am trying to locate a source for three unusual aroids: Rhaphidophora graeffei from Samoa Rhaphidophora guamensis from Guam Philodendron longilaminatum from eastern Brazil The first two are scandent climbers that are endemic only to the locations named. I have not even been able to find a photo of these species, so if any of you have them, know of a source or have a photo, please post it. I'm told the first two are in the collection of the Kew in London but not being an accredited organization I dare not ask for cuttings. I will gladly purchase or trade for any of the three. Thanks!
