Pothos?? Okay, I have a plant that I am convinced is in the subfamily Pothoideae. The lactifers are absent, the flowers are dioecious, the inflorescence with a reflexed spathe limb. I am inclined to think that this plant is an Anthurium, but the stems are woody, and the inflorescences come from the leaf axils, sort of like Pothos (which I have never seen except in pictures). The leaf petioles are not flattened (explanate) but I know not all Pothos have that as a character (P. beccarianus). I grew this from cuttings taken from a plant at UC Davis. The parent plant is labeled as "Philodendron scandens" which it obviously is not. Anyone have any clue what this might be? Thank you to all! Christopher D.
