  Dear Friends,

  I believe I recall the last time we spoke w/ Pete Boyce he said he had encountered this species of variegated  Epipremnum in the wild, and it was NOT a 'sport' of the all-green species as was previously thought, but a distinct and 'good' species.   He said then that he was going to work on a paper about this new location in the wild.
  I am certain that Pete will soon give us some good info.!
  Leslie, these genera are different one from the other in subtle ways, the shape of the seed, the structure of the ovary, etc.   At a glance at only their leaves they can be easily confused one with the other!!

  >>Leslie:

  I believe it may be Epipremnum aureus according to another message I
  saw.  In any event it a good species one way or another.  I am just not sure
  which genus.

   So, our common Pothos is Raphidophora aureus?  Botanical names are so
  confused.  Is the yellow-variegated version the true coloring from the wild?
  I've had a Pothos for 30 years which is solid green, no variegation (and
  it's not a variegated one that's reverted to green). Leslie RuleColumbia, MO
