Re: C. 'Fontanesii' id - Pete's id

Tony,

I am pretty sure that the 'Fontanesii' cultivar of C. esculenta is somewhere 
in the gaoligongenis/lihengiae complex defined by glossy leaves and a 
loosely stolonifeous habit combined with a short deep yellow spathe that 
opens rather wide.

Very best

Peter
