1980 3(1) 13-18 Mark D. Moffler Qualitative observations on tropical aroid cold tolerance (Buy)
ABSTRACT: As winter approaches each year, we all become concerned about protecting our tropical plants, especially those which are the most susceptible to cold damage. The fall of 1978 was mild in Tampa, with temperatures seldom reaching below 100C (500F). The mild fall gave many of us a false sense of security and steps for cold protection were put off until "tomorrow". It wa~ this unfortunate procrastination that lead to a premature study of cold tolerance in aroids. My initial idea was to test several landscape and porch plants for cold susceptibility, but unfortunately, I unintentionally tested 46 different aroids.

ABSTRACT: I obtained A. araliifolium from the Marie Selby Botanical Gardens in 1978 (Fig. 1, a.,b.). Since this Anthurium is seldom encountered in collections and certainly has horticultural merit (at least for aroid collectors), my thoughts turned to propagation. When I obtained A. araliifolium, three spadices were developing and I decided to self pollinate the flowers in order to have many seeds of this fine plant.

1983 6(1) 19-23 Mark D. Moffler A commentary on the anatomy of a neotropical species of Homalomena (Buy)
ABSTRACT: The striking and varied foliage pattern in aroids is one of the reasons we collect these fascinating plants_ While ' we all appreciate the elegance of aroids, few people have the opportunity to see the structural beauty at the microscopic level. I will briefly discuss several anatomical features of a neotropical species of Homalomena c.f_ peltata.

1985 8(2) 42-43 Josef Bogner, Mark D. Moffler Additional notes on Homalomena speariae Bogner et Moffler

ABSTRACT: After the publication of the new species, Homa/omena speariae Bogner et Moffler (Moffler and Bogner, 1984), I (J.B.) pollinated it by hand obtaining fruits with viable seeds. Seeds were sent to Mr. John Banta of the River Haven Nursery, Rt. 2, Box 144, Alva, Florida 33920, in order to introduce this handsome aroid into the trade. Since our publication, plants were planted into a ground bed at the Munich Botanical Garden where they grew much larger than the original container grown specimens.
