Re: [Aroid-l] Cyrtosperma merkusii--the story

**"F*@yahoo.com" f*@yahoo.com**

Hello Brian, Julius, and everybody else who shared
there info and insight on this beautiful plant. 

The Markusii that Brian sent a link of from Hawaii
doesnt look "exactly" like the one that is growing at
Fairchild. It may very well be the same plant, since I
am no expert. But it appears that the leaf on the one
that Brian sent a link to has a softer leaf almost
like a Xanthosoma Sagitifollia when compared to an
Alocasia Odora leaf. 

Here is a link to the plant that looks identical to
the one growing at Fairchild:

Again they very well may be the same plant, or a
variation of the same plant. 

Thanks
Eric
