RE: [Aroid-l] Syngonium rayii

Dear Harry and Tom,

Syngonium auritum (at least the clones I have seen) are much more common growing and flowering at the ground than climbing in any support. Tom may have seen thousands of them in the field and probably I am reporting an unusual behavior in cultivation (or a strong tolerance for the absence of trees).

Very best wishes,

Eduardo.

Harry: I don't know of any Syngonium which is not a hemiepiphyte.

Tom, I would assume this species is a terrestrial and not really epiphytic but I also assume it can be an opportunistic epiphyte.

Thanks so much for the information.

I saw a reference that listed Dr Croat as the person who described this species. If so, Dr Croat could you tell us where you found it and what's it native habitat is.
