Re: Anthurium fornicifolium root plants

---

The term fornication derives from the Latin fornix, which means archway; the vaulted arches of churches are called fornications. The term gained its sexual connotation because prostitutes in Rome often solicited business from the archways of buildings.

Sadly not - 

fornicifoilum - with arched leaves - fornix - arched or vaulted

Best to all

Hiyer, Dylan!

That is strange. I wonder if the specific epithet "fornicifolium" is in any way reflective of that phenomenon. How big are the adult plants? How big does a plant have to be to do this? It looks like you are growing the plant in a hanging basket: do you see anything like this in potted specimens?

Happy days,

Christopher

Hello all,

Here is a strange phenomenon in Anthurium fornicifolium, where plantlets sprout directly from aerial roots. Is there any published info about aroids doing this, or experiences of other growers?

Kind regards,

Dylan Hannon

To any and all: please send more gratuitous aroid images. They will generate good and useful conversations. I am in an airport right now, heading to the Great Basin Desert for field work. When I am at my hotel I will send images as well.

Happy days,

Christopher

Beautiful Peter! Perhaps my eyes are failing me, so I apologize, but what is this Bucep growing on? Is that a tree or a rock? 😂 I can’t tell. Gratuitous aroids welcome!

I wholeheartedly agree with @Bernhard on how welcome is the renewed traffic on Aroid-l. The amount of supermarket hybrid white noise on FB is becoming quite intolerable.

Here's a gratuitous aroid: Bucephalandra kerangas at the Type locality.

Sarawak greetings!
