Re: Anthurium ID

**&* W* <h*@witmore.net>**

Leland, thanks for the suggestion. My sense is that it is not Anthurium
giganteum. Comparing my plant to it's description and pictures I have seen,
they are not a match for this Anthurium. It has also been suggested to me
that mine could be Anthurium balaoanum. I looked this up and found Steve's
page on this species and this really matches my plant completely. Like
Steve, mine has never produced and inflorescence so I cannot compare this to
the description. My plant does not look match A cordatum either.  I don’t
have any collection info on this plant since I just received it as an
unlabeled cutting years ago from Brian Williams.  

I think I will tag it for now as Anthurium aff balaoanum. Whatever it is,
it's a nice Anthurium. Thanks all for the suggestions

Dear Harry,

Surf on to the classic Tropicos3 and search Anthurium giganteum, images.
There are several variations on this theme.  I have a form that looks
similar,but has narrower sinuses...I have been looking at photos of plants
in habitat and there seems to be a species complex associated with
populations of closely related taxa.  

Does your plant set seed?  I have not been able to set seeds on this and
some other large growing species...but, I have only recently been interested
in pollination of my Anthurium.  I need to learn techniques and timing...I
am trying only to self...not hybridize, at this point.

I'd be interested in your opinion after you check out the Tropicos images
and the comparison to your plant.

Aloha,

Leland
