Re: Spathiphyllum ID

Emily, I would think Anthurium plowmanii and Leland Miyano appears to agree via a private email.  Dr. Croat once commented about a natural variation collected by Fred Fuchs in Bolivia which was being called Anthurium plowmanii Fruffles and Leland tended towards that variation.  Jared, just in case you aren't aware, virtually all aroids have natural variations and they are sometimes numerous.  Basically, every plant in the species does not have to appear exactly alike.  You might want to take a look at my webpage on the species here:

The top photo is by Enid Offolter who is well known to almost all of us on Aroid l.  Take a look at her photo and see if the plants appear to be the same.  I made my name recommendation based on the shape of the mid rib, what appears to be a U shaped petiole in one photo along with the undulated leaf margins (ruffled edges) and the pale greenish color of the spadix.  If we had a photo of the spathe it would be possible to offer a more postive ID (non-scientific on my part!). 

By the way, I believe there are some tissue cultured specimens around so as a non-scientist I wouldn't dare suggest if  the plant is a species or a hybrid.

Subject: [Aroid-l] Spathiphyllum ID

Hi. I was a member a long time ago, and have recently rejoined. I am a general plant enthusiast in Tucson.

I just had a friend who had a little accident with his plant. His gardener hacked it up pretty good. He wants a replacement, but I am not sure exactly what it is. I think it is a Spathiphyllum species. But I am not totally sure. Here are some image links. Can anyone identify this for me and even better, let me know where I could obtain a nice large specimen? It is a rather large plant, or at least it was before it was "trimmed".

thanks. And I look forward to corresponding with you guys again. I remember some real plant nerds in this list! (that is, of course, a compliment)
