Re: [Aroid-l] Anthurium on Aroideana

Dear Brian;

	I diagree that your second plant represents Anthurium costatum.
That species occurs only in the Cordillera de la Costa in Venezuela.
See my illustration (Fig. 34 in Croat & Lamber, 1986-Aroideana 9: 23.
1986. Where is your plant from?  Where is you collection that you called
A. marmoratum from?

Ahh this is a beautiful Anthurium. I remember lusting after it years
ago. I tracked it down that Dorothy donated the plant to a botanical
garden in California possibly the huntington botanical garden and that
it soon died in their care. The track just ended their I am not sure if
she gave pieces to anyone or if she kept any for herself. It was thought
it could be mormoratum or costatum. I have never seen either this large
though.

First photo is momoratum second costatum
