Re: Are these seeds? Anthurium scandens

Dear Marek: 

 

            Anthurium scandens regularly sets seeds on its own without pollination so yes, those are surely good, viable seeds. Where did you come up with the name var. latifolium and how does it differ from var. scandens?

Subject: [Aroid-l] Are these seeds? Anthurium scandens

 

Hello,

 

My Anthurium scandens var. latifolium blooms all the time and produces self-pollinated fruits.

I always thought that they were empty inside until I checked yesterday.

In each of them I found something small sticking to the inner fruit wall, one per each fruit.

Are they parietal seeds? If yes are they mature? The scale is in mm.

They are also visible in the inflorescence photo.

 

Best,

Marek Argent
