Re: Ecuadorian aroids


Hi,
 
Zantedeschia in Ecuador is a diaphyte. It means that it is not native there but naturalized and gone wild.

I will defend the presence of that particular Zantedeschia as an Ecuadorian aroid. The parent species, yes, is absolutely from Africa. However, the green-blooming version shown in the picture is a cultivar developed in the town of Cayambe (just north of Quito), specifically for the export flowers trade.
