Abstract
Tropic Fire is primarily characerized by an attractive dark green foliage which highlights its vivacious, glossy, bright red spathe carried about 90.degree. from the flower stem axis. The spathe has open lobes, which are flat or slightly recurved, and a contrasting yellow upright spadix. Tropic Fire is resistant to anthracnose (spadix rot) and is tolerant to the bacterial blight. It propagates easily and forms multiple high-yielding flowering shoots rapidly, making it potentially well-suited for cut flower and flowering potted plant production.
