Geoffrey:

I have a few specimens of Anchomanes hookeri which Phil Mueller sent me
some years ago.  Mine have not shown banding such as I see at your
WWW site.  I think I may have photos of mine somewhere which I can scan
and put on my WWW site.  At the moment, it is putting up new leaves and
the only remaining ones are somewhat tattered, so I can't take a new one
right now.

Clear skies,
Al
