Dear All,

First off, Thanks to Marek (and others like Raymond M. who responded to the

list on my querry!), for sharing this information with all of us, it was (I

THINK!) what I was looking for.

Tom and Pete, is this TRUE Monstera deliciosa, or something else (please

check the link kindly given by Marek in his note, below)? It certainly

LOOKS like a true M. deliciosa, with even the SAME fenestrations (holes) and

splits in its mature leaves. Tom, does your small Honduran collection have

these fenestrations?? What is the largest leaf on this Honduran

collection?

Thanks again to all of you for sharing your knowledge, it enriches all of

us!

Julius

Hello,

This "compact" Monstera deliciosa is named M.d. "Borsigiana" or sometimes

M.d. var. borsigiana, but this is rather a cultivar, not a natural variety.

The largest leaf I've seen was about 40 cm (1' 4") in diameter.

Don't be deceived by the filename "pertusa", once I thought it was M.

pertusa, and I don't change filenames in my website because some other sites

have direct links to my pages.

Greetings
Marek Argent

	 	Dear All,

A question--what is the status of the existence of a true 'minature' clone

of Monstera deliciosa, and what, it it does exist, are the measurements of a

MATURE leaf of this minature?????

I THINK I remember a discussion on this back when we exchanged ideas about

the non-existence of the 'red-varigated' clone of the same species which, I

believe, turned out to be a photo-shopped/modified picture of the

white-varigated variety of this species.

I THINK I recall someone saying that the common and BIG clone of this was a

selection from the wild, and if one went back to the area where this plant

occured in Coastal Mexico, one would have difficulty in finding such a large

clone, most wild plants of this species were substantially smaller that the

big one we see everywhere in cultivation Worldwide.

Any information would be welcome!

Good Growing!

Julius
