SYNGONIUM AURITUM 'FANTASY'

Cultivar

CULTIVAR DESCRIPTION:

Graf pictured it in 1963.²

NOTES:

1. Unconfirmed: Leaves richly mottled in cream, silver and white; perhaps the showiest clone of Syngonium auritum.¹

2. Uncertain identity: This plant is known only from A. B. Graf's photograph and from a description that has not been confirmed elsewhere. No current source of it has been found, so it cannot be confirmed whether it is still in cultivation or how it differs from other variegated forms of Syngonium auritum.
