Earlier I reported the following ( see below) about Alocasia lowii.
Although I did not get a response I will continue with some more
results. This time we look at Alocasia x amazonica Polly It is clear
from the leaf that it is thicker then the standard x amazonica were
it came from via tc. I measured an equal piece of leaf and found 14
mg for the standard and 20 mg for Polly so that fits HOWEVER it
turns out that the DNA is equal ie 10.1 pg So Polly is not a
polyploid
EARLIER:
THanks Julius for the likely cv status of A. Tigrina Superba Now I
have a more difficult one I suppose From the leaves provided by
Denis from Silver Krome Gardens, I measured for Alocasia lowii
Veitchii 22.3 pg and for A lowii Grandis 18.4 pg So in my opinion
they are different species.Any comment would be welcome
