RE: [Aroid-l] Monstera obliqua and Culcasia questions


Dear Michael:
 
    The name Monstera obliqua Miq. is definitely a good species but it is a highly variable one that may ultimately have to be divided up. I do not agree with Mike Madison's full synonymy for example. There are three subspecies of M. adansonii but it is another species that probably will end up much changed with a new revision.

Subject: [Aroid-l] Monstera obliqua and Culcasia questions

Is this name still "good" or is this now considered another form of M. adansonii.  How many forms of this plant species are there?

Also...anyone growing any Culcasia species?  I have a few species and would love to trade if anyone has anything different.  They seem to be easy to grow but are still not seen very often. 

Thanks!
Michael
