Re: [Aroid-l] Gonatopus species-solved

Sorry Julius, if I'd seen you loitering about I'd have asked you! You really must do more loitering in the future.

It certainly is a different looking plant even aside from the solid green color. At the place where the petiole divides into three, the three joints are very large and rounded. But if His P'ness (don't say that too fast) says they're both G. boivinii then it must be so...

Subject : [Aroid-l] Gonatopus species?



Dear Ken,



No one asked me! "Believe it or don`t", as the old "Mad Magazine' used
to say, I have been told that this all-green, giant Gonotopus is the
very same G. bovinii, the common 'giraffe leg' or whatever, the other
one with the beautiful markings which grows to a substantially smaller
plant, at least the experts including "Lord P" whom have grown it and
studied the 'naughty bits' along the spadix say that they are a match!

So there now!



Julius




At that IAS show/sale there were several plants of a solid green (no
spots, stripes or bloches) Gonatopus with no certain species listed.
Nobody there was able to identify the species. Does anyone else have
any ideas?


I can take a photo and post it later if required.

Thanks,
Ken
