Denis,
Thanks for that info. It explains why it
did look different.
Also I appreciate the hybridizing facts regarding
Central American Anthuriums.
Bill was a great host taking time from his work
to show me and allow me to photograph the fabulous collection of specimen
Anthuriums that live and flourish at Silver Krome.
Thank you both for your hospitality,
Windy

Picture of A.
faustomirandae from Windy taken at Silver Krome
Gardens is actually a picture of one of Bill's faustino hybrids....
Anth. (faustomirandae x clarinervium). it
has also been successfully hybridized with Anth.
podophyllum. Dr. Croat says Central american anthuriums
will often hybridize with other Central american species which are not in
their group.

Again, I need some help from any and all of you
aroid collectors out there! I need a good photo of a
fully adult Anthurium faustomirandae to illustrate the
article in the link below. I'll gladly give you credit in the piece
for your help. I also need input as to just how large you may
have been able to get this species to grow in your collection. The
literature I've found indicates typical size is around 2 feet (60cm)
but Julius has seen blades up to 4 feet (1.2 meters).
The reason for the confusion is this plant is commonly
sold as the "world's largest" Anthurium. That is highly
suspect since Anthurium regale can produce a 6 foot (1.8 meter)
leaf in the wild and I just saw Anthurium cubense in Miami with
an 8 foot leaf (2.4 meter). Even if you limit it to cordate leaf
specimens Anthurium regale would still be the
largest.
And by the way, since I suspect some will wish to point
out my spelling is incorrect, I have verified the spelling on both
TROPICOS and IPNI. Many websites have this plant up under a large
number of misspelled names. The spelling I use is the one Dr. Croat
published the plant under which he verified on Aroid l as correct several
years ago.
You can send the photos directly to me or to Aroid l and
I'll grab them. Please just be sure and indicate it is OK for me to
reproduce the photo on the internet. Really do appreciate the
input!
Thanks!
Steve Lucas
