RE: [Aroid-l] Syngonium rayii

Dear Eduardo and Harry:

	I must admit that I too have seen this mostly in cultivation where it does indeed crawl around on the ground and it does flower there.  I just checked our wild collected specimens in the herbarium and though few in number all that had data said they were epiphytes.  One was simply said to be a vine which would not rule it out as a vine on the ground.

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.
