Re: [Aroid-l] Colocasia flowers

From: Scott Radford <s.rad4d at ymail.com> on 2010.09.12 at 07:20:18(21450) Hi Kyle I grow lots of Colocasias here in the UK I also have Zantedesschia in my pond and can say from my experience that the Colocasia flowers do not open up to the full extent of the Zantedeschia flowers - i.e to the point where the top is completely fanned out. In contrast Colocasia flowers do open up a bit, but they only need to open enough to allow the natural pollinator insects to get in, not necessarily our eyes. But you are right, regardless, the bright yellow spathes on the darker varients such as Black Magic do look great.

So, you can have animals and plants and fungi sharing the name. Araceae has an example Hapale (a syn of Hapaline) and also a genus of marmoset. P.

Besides Dracunculus vulgaris and Dracunculus canariense, which we almost all heard about, I found a document mentioning different species of Dracunculus which are... Nematodes: http://www.cartercenter.org/documents/2147.pdf Is it admissible for two quite different unrelated taxa to bear the same generic name? ???
