zamioculcas zamiifolia

     dear aroiders,
    
     this may be a monotypic genus, but in our local indoor gardening
     society there is a fellow who has a gorgeous plant.  the leaftlets are
     almost round and very plump and shiny. 
    
     the little baby i bought at the philadelphia flower show 2 years ago
     have leaves that are longer, more lanceolate and the plant is slender,
     duller and darker in color.  so it seems to me that there are at least
     different clones or varieties.

     Kevin,
    
     What you see it what you get, but regardless of what the labels may
     have said, the correct name is Zamioculcas zamiifolia. There is only
     one species and to my knowledge it is endemic solely to
     portions of Africa. And it is a unique beast as aroids generally go.
     Dewey Fisk has one that is flowering  at the moment.  It has multiple
     small infloresences.
