Re: [aroid-l] Anthurium tessmanii

---

Hi Joe,

As I know, Anthurium tessmanii K. Krause is now a synonim of Anthurium ernestii Engler, and belongs to Section Pachyneurium (you can find it on Croat´s publication:   Croat, T. 1991. A revision of Anthurium section Pachyneurium (Araceae). Ann. Missouri Bot. Gard. 78).

Here in Peru there are two varieties (is the word right?) of this species: Anthuriumernestii var ernestii and  Anthurium ernestii var oellgaardii....I don´t remember now, but I guess the third variety : Anthurium ernestii var thomasii  is only from Bolivia.

One more thing, Anthurium ernestii is a well distributed species (at least here in Peru), we can find it in almost all the departments with amazonian areas...and I think it grows in Ecuador and Bolivia too.

I hope this short information helps you.
