Re: [Aroid-l] Dracontium iquitense


Nice pictures! That looks like a really neat species, and I hope that it can become widely established in cultivation.

 

I was particularly interested in the close up of the tuber, which depicted the offsets quite well. I have read about how Dracontium produces off sets at the margin of the petiole base. My Dracontium does no such thing. Is there a way that I can stimulate them to produce offsets?

 

Happy days,

Christopher

Hello fellow Aroiders, 
I thought I would share:
Here are some photos I took 1 year ago of the new species described as Dracontium iquitense in
Morgan, E. C., J. A. Speriling 2007. New species of Dracontium
           (Araceae) from Iquitos, Peru.  Aroideana 30:53-55.
