Glad to have found this tribute to Steve! Thanks LariAnn.

Several years ago Steve approached me to help convince John Wiersema of USDA Plants GRIN that Epipremnum aureum and Epipremnum pinnatum were not synonyms, but were distinct species. Steve sent descriptions and I sent photos from wild plants in Hawai'i, which in turn convinced John to list the two plants in separate entries.

It is an honor and a pleasure to have worked with Steve. The world of plant science and of plant enthusiasts have benefitted from him.
