Re: [Aroid-l] Thorns at anubiases

From: Peter Boyce <phymatarum at googlemail.com> on 2009.02.12 at 23:42:52(19094) Dmitry, Are these thorns associated with the stem adjacent to the leaf or are they part of actual leaf (petiole, petiolar sheath, etc.) My suspicion is that they either are epidermal outgrowths (i.e., prickles) of the sort often associated with the lasioids or perhaps toughened roots (so-called root-thorns) that occur in some aroids (notably Pothos and Phymatarum).
