  Re: [Aroid-l] Anthurium unknown! - banta

Everyone please keep in mind that the plant in Zach' photo was
photographed in the collection of the Missouri Botanical Garden.

Emily can correct me if I am wrong, but it is my understanding that the
plants in the Climatron display come from the garden's own collection
and every aroid I have ever seen in that collection has an accession
tag on it with detailed info where the plant came from in nature. It
be possible but I would doubt there are any tissue cultured plants on
display but again Tom or Emily would need to speak to that issue.
Similar plant forms to those in the photos may be available from
Agristarts or other sources but I would be very surprised if the garden
uses tissue cultured plants.

Several times I have gone in the the MOBOT aroid greenhouse and asked
where a specific plant was that I had once photographed (normally large
Anthurium species) and been told it is currently on display in
the Climatron. Emily keeps very precise records on all the plants.

Last night Julius also provided additional information on the Banta's
email response in regard to articles on similar plants that can be
found in Aroideana. Banta's article can be read in Aroideana
Vol. 6, No. 1, pg. 26-27 in an article titled What's in a Name.
Dr. Croat has an article in Vol. 6, No. 4, pg. 133
in an article titled The Origin of Anthurium leuconeurum
Lem. I found the features of Anthurium leuconeurum to be similar
to the plant in Zach's photo and commented on that to several of you
privately.

If you don't have these issues you can download the articles from the
IAS website www.Aroid.org
