The mutation is the fusion of two leaves into one. Many aroids show similar types of mutations of leaves which look to be partial inflorecenses. Some chemicals can cause this as well as pushing a plant to hard and fast. I did have one plant produce 3 leaves like this in a roll only to revert back to normal. It would be a very interesting plant if the mutation would stick. I have seen it around a dozen times and for me it always reverts back to normal. That does not mean it is not possible though. |
