Re: Anthurium whitelockii

Steve:

 

            What I once called Anthurium whitelockii turned out to be another new species which is now published, namely A. faustomirandae M. Perez Farrara & Croat

Thus A. whitelockii is no more, just what we call an herbarium name.

Hi Jared.  I just did a search for "Anthurium whitelockii" on TROPICOS, the Kew's International Plant Names Index, The Kew Monocot Checklist and the Kew Checklist of Plant families.  None lists the plant as a species.  Can you provide photos as someone might recognize the actual species?

Has anyone grown Anthurium whitelockii. I got the plant from Rancho Soledad in CA. It seems like it might have rhizomatous growth that would produce pups. I found at the base of the plant a few of these rhizomes snaking up and back down in the box (it's in a 24 inch box). Obviously it is a bird's nest variety.
