Hello. The black leaved form that I bought was
called 'Raven', and just said it was a new form from Asia. I
hope it becomes more common.

There is also a black form
which has the same glossy green leaves and swollen stems.
I saw it in a garden centre in the UK in April. Both
leaves and stems are black.

Does anyone know the
cultivar name and where it originates?

There are two forms of Zamioculcas
zamiifolia that are available.?The most?common is the
horticultural variety with glossy green and very smooth
leaves with broad, swollen stems. The other, which I
have heard called the "wild form," is much more like
your photos, Jude, with the exception of the
variegation. The main growth (what looks like a stem but
is actually the petiole, I believe) is thinner. Also, my
experience is that the "wild form" tends to be more
deciduous, whereas the horticultural form tends to be
more evergreen.
?
Gonatopus boivinii differs in
structure, with leaflets splayed out more horizontally,
similar to Amorphophallus, rather than all along the
vertical growth of the petiole.
?
My two cents,

will defer to Tom, of course. But to me it looks

variegated varietals.

I
like G. boivinii very much and would like to try
other Gonatopus species.? I know this one is
invasive in some areas and is a pest. But I
still find them beautiful. They are easily
propagated from leaflets stuck upright into
sphagnum. The ease of making more is what
contributes to its invasiveness. They are also
very sensitive to over watering, and are prone
to rot.

Good
to "hear" your voice again, Jude! It has been
along time.

Happy
days,

Zamioculcas - like Gonatopus ?

style="">As some
of you might know, I
import plants from
Thailand from time
to time (with the
proper paperwork, of

acquisition has me
stumped.
style="">These are
called Variegated
Zamioculcas - but the
petiole has the kinks
that Gonatopus do. Is
there some kind of new
Zamioculcas species
floating around that
hasn't hit the
mainstream market yet?
The leaflets are
heavily splashed with
creamy variegation,

more elongated.
