RE: [Aroid-l] Rare Meconostigma Philo gets bid of $280

Hi,

What about these two pages from Aroidia Research?

http://aroidiaresearch.org/willoum.htm

http://aroidiaresearch.org/affanta.htm

The plant for sale looks more like the 'P. x African
Fantasy' than the 'P. x willoum,' which Aroidia
Research says is the hybrid between P. stenolobum and
P. selloum.
