1980 3(4) 120-126 B. Frank Brown Aglaonema: New discoveries (Buy)
ABSTRACT: This past March, Dr. Gutierrez learned of a newly discovered stand of Agiaonema in the wilds of the province of Rizal, on the island of Luzon. His information came from Mr. Zach Sarian, a Filipino member of the Aroid Society. Directions as to the precise location where the plants were discovered were scanty, but, after gleaning as much information as possible, we set out in quest of their habitat.

ABSTRACT: In 1979 three Filipinos on an outing in a remote section of the island of Luzon found a mountain literally covered with previously unknown aglaonemas. This accidental discovery has turned out to be a highly significant botanical event. In addition to making entirely new varieties available, it initiated a whole host of new explorations.

1984 7(2) 42-52 Dr. R. Frank Brown The new aglaonemas of Thailand (Buy)
ABSTRACT: In 1979, after returning to Manila from an exhaustive search on the island of Palawan, I visited the garden of Dr. Romeo Gutierrez, president of the Philippine Horticultural Society. Dr. Gutierrez maintains one of the world's leading collections of Aglaonemas, and on this occasion, he proudly displayed a newly discovered species from Thailand. It was, to put it mildly, the most beautiful Aglaonema I had ever seen. I Although he generously cut it and gave me the top, my collector's instinct had become so aroused, that I cancelled my planned search on the Philippine island of Samar, and instead, flew to Bangkok.
