The obvious visual difference between P. virginica and P. sagittifolia is
that in the latter the upper 2/3s of the spath is white and the berries
ripen to a bright red , whereas P. virginica has a green spath and
greenish-brown berries. I can't help but think those two characteristics
alone would be a welcome addition to a collection.
I know it is listed as rare in Fl and Ga....and I suspect across its entire
range, but still have hopes it is available somewhere. I have seen
pictures of it in collections in Germany, for one and mention made of it in
Great Britain.
