From: "Eduardo Goncalves" edggon at hotmail.com> on 2003.01.29 at 01:23:43(9893) Dear Asit, In my stay in Florida, I coudn?t find X. sagittifolia in backyards, neither in comercial fields (cultivated for food) or Botanical Gardens... All I could see was Xanthosoma robustum, believe me! In the wild, I also couldn?t find, but I didn?t look for it anyway. It is not supposed to be native from there... it was firstly collected in Barbados and St. Vincent Islands, W.I. It is widely cultivated in Brazil and a few other South American Islands. I will look for a picture of true X. sagittifolia in the web. If I can?t find it, I will post my pictures someplace. Very best wishes, Eduardo. +More Reply-To: aroid-l@lists.ncsu.edu To: aroid-l@lists.ncsu.edu Subject: Re: [aroid-l] Xanthosoma Sagittifolium Date: Mon, 27 Jan 2003 11:55:01 -0800 (PST) Hi Eduardo When you say that "I wasn?t able to find a real Xanthosoma sagittifolium growing in Florida!!!", what do you mean ?
