IAS Newsletter

From: Sue Thompson <thompsons at clpgh.org> on 1997.04.21 at 14:26:24(653) The first issue of the IAS Newsletter for 1997 was finally mailed to U.S. addresses last Friday (18 Apr) and will be mailed to foreign addresses today. Look for it in the mail! Sorry for the delays in getting this issue out. The newsletter is now being printed and mailed from Pittsburgh and we also made some changes in the format. The remaining issues for 1997 should be more on schedule.

From: plantnut at shadow.net (Dewey Fisk) on 1997.06.19 at 04:43:48(872) The IAS Newsletter is in the mail and, today, I received my copy. Dr. Thompson has done a job on the Newsletter the likes of which the IAS has never seen. As a former Newsletter Editor, I can say, with authority, that this is by far, the best Newsletter we have ever had. Kudos to Dr. Thompson. But, she could not have done it without the assistance of Dr. Alistair Hay who wrote about 'Flora Malesiana Araceae', Julius Boos with his 'Cooking with Aroids', Dr. Richard Keating telling about his research in 'Anatomy of the Araceae' and George R. Stilwell, Jr. telling us all of the good stuff about the 'Arisaema Enthusiasts Group'. There is also the regual feature that Dr. Thompson puts in.... 'Publications on Araceae' This time, it lists three good books. Amy Donovan ended the issue with some vital information on the IAS Show and Sale coming September 27 and 28 at Fairchild Tropical Garden. Now, if you are not a member of IAS, you will not receive this great Newsletter. For information on the IAS, please E-MAIL ME DIRECT at . I will be happy to send you information... Thank you for your time... Dewey Fisk +More President, International Aroid Society... Dewey E. Fisk, Plant Nut THE PHILODENDRON PHREAQUE

From: Sue Thompson <thompsons at clpgh.org> on 1998.07.17 at 17:36:47(2487) To all patient IAS members - A combined double issue (Vol. 20, No. 1-2) of the IAS Newsletter is now at the printers and should be ready for mailing early next week. This issue includes information on the Annual Show and Sale as well as the reservation form for the banquet. Hopefully, we're back on track now and No. 3 will come out around the last week of August. At the moment, I have no material for this issue -- so PLEASE send me stories about your activities with aroids. I would especially appreciate an article on all the blooming Amorphophallus titanums! Thanks for your patience while I finished some overdue federal and state contracts and recovered from the Pittsburgh tornado.

From: Sue Thompson <thompsons at clpgh.org> on 1998.08.22 at 20:03:00(2547) Dear Aroiders- Articles are urgently needed for the remaining 1998 issues of the International Aroid Society Newsletter. I especially need material for the next newsletter which will be produced the first week September. Anything that has to do with aroids can be sent -- recipes, propagating, interesting aroids you've found, field trips, aroid collections, seed germination, etc. Please send me articles by mail, fax, or e-mail (e-mail preferred). If sending by e-mail, please don't send as an attached file as the system at CMNH can't "decode" attached files -- just send as an ASCII upload in the body of an e-mail message. Looking forward to hearing from some of you!

From: plantnut at macconnect.com (Dewey) on 1999.12.09 at 03:23:30(3908) On Monday and Tuesday of this week, I mailed the IAS Newsletter. The first edition by our new Newsletter Editor, Neil Carroll. IT IS EXCELLENT. The Board of Directors decided that since we have been a little negligent with this organ, we added "SIXTEEN COLOR PHOTOGRAPHS" to sort of try to make it up to you. ALSO, Neil is working on ONE MORE for mailing before the end of December!!!!! +More Neil is really going to come up with something to beat this issue... But, I am quite confident that he will do it... We have a great new Editor. Now, show him that you appreciate his efforts by posting what you like about the new Newsletter, please. Aroideana was mailed from the Printer today!!!! Now, if between now and the end of the month, we can get enough volunteers together, we will mail it before the end of the month..... It is not easy to get volunteers in the Holiday Season.... but, we are going to try. Dewey E. Fisk, Plant Nut THE PHILODENDRON PHREAQUE Your Source for Tropical Araceae Go to

From: Neil Carroll zzamia at hargray.com> on 2000.03.05 at 03:58:27(4153) This is a plea for material for the upcoming issue of the IAS Newsletter. You do not have to be a member of the International Aroid Society to submit. I am looking particularly for material on temperate aroids of any kind. please send material to me Neil Carroll +More Editor IAS Newsletter zzamia@hargray.com

From: Neil Carroll zzamia at hargray.com> on 2000.03.09 at 03:38:06(4192) I have had some response to the plea that Dewey and I have made for articles for the upcoming IAS Newsletter. I will be producing a newsletter that will be based around an article about Arisaema. I would love to have a coupel of companion articles for this newsletter that would compliment the arisaema article I have now. The article I have is a general info article and has quite a few species descriptions. A culture article or visit to habitat article would be great. Or a species profile. Or a story about an outstanding collection of these 'jack in the pulpits' would be great. Time is short. I want this Newsletter in our members hands before the end of the month. step up to the plate, Neil Carroll +More Editor IAS Newsletter

From: "George R Stilwell, Jr." grsjr at juno.com> on 2000.03.10 at 00:50:04(4201) Neil, There are several previously published articles on Arisaema by Dr. Guy Gusman . +More One of them is the best I've seen on distinguishing the three subspecies of Arisaema flavum. It's reasonably short and, if you get Guy's approval, I can send you both the original article and a condensed version which is very good. Dr. Jim McClements has written the definitive article on Arisaema culture . I only have a draft copy in machine form. Dr. Donald Huttleston wrote the definitive article on the species Arisaema triphyllum. It may be old enough to be free of copywrite restrictions but it still is the authority. I have it in machine form including the original black&white illustrations. Craig Stubbs has developed the best method of forcing Arisaema to get 2 to 3 years growth per year. It's simple enough that anyone can do it. . Using Craig's method, one can go from seed to bloom in 2 years. He has written about the method, but has not published the material. There are quite a few articles on Arisaema that are available to AEG members. Some may have copywrite problems, some (like the Arisaema section of "Flora of China" including line drawings) are way too long for the newsletter. But, some are quite interesting.

From: "Peter Boyce" p.boyce at rbgkew.org.uk> on 2000.03.11 at 03:38:33(4204) Neil/George Huttleston may have written the definitive account on A. triphyllum but it's now nearing its half century and is woefully outdated. Sue Thompson's magisterial PhD is THE account of the N. American aroids. Please don't start publishing antiquated stuff simply to fill the Newsletter.

From: "Ron Iles" roniles at eircom.net> on 2001.05.11 at 04:52:58(6416) Dear Peter, Thank you for the mention that I am to be responsible as a writer for continuing to edit the IAS newsletter after Neil has completed his last bits. I was happy to do things without such recognition. It is good just to help alongside others in such a varied and rich range of Aroid enthusiasts. If you consider an article on Spathiphyllum in Aroideana would be apt within advised guidelines, when I have a representative array in an original culture system, I will most cautiously begin to prepare and submit one for approval. Meanwhile I am humbled by your thoughtfulness and thank you for the valuation. I hope that Spathiphyllums and Amorphophallus bloom at Kew! Best Wishes Ron +More |

From: "Peter Boyce" p.boyce at rbgkew.org.uk> on 2001.05.11 at 15:36:05(6421) Dear Ron No problem. The Spaths and Amorphos do well at Kew, although we don't grow too many of the former, in part because most of my fieldwork has been in Asia and that mainly in the Sunda shelf area where Spath only gets into the edge of the Philippines. Delighted to here that you'll consider doing a Spath. article for the journal. I am very keen to get a better balance in Aroideana with more cultural stuff to lighten the heavy science. the main problem is that while my science colleagues are very happy to roll out papers the hort. folks are rather more shy of putting their knowledge in print. Hope your weather is as good as it is here in the UK! As ever Pete +More ---------------------------- Peter Boyce Herbarium Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew Richmond, Surrey TW9 3AE Tel.

I just printed it so I can read it as I have more time to absorb it all! This is the best way to receive the publication! Many thanks to Pete, Tom and everyone else who contributed.
