Lasioid spathes (samples) for research!!

From: <ju-bo at msn.com> on 2009.11.11 at 12:20:37(20261) Dear All Lasioid growers out there,  (Dracontium, Anaphyllopsis, Anaphyllum, Pycnospatha, Lasimorpha, Cyrtosperma, Podolasia, Lasia, and Urospatha---this is a call for assistance on behalf of a friend, David Broederbauer-- >david.broedbauer@univie.ac.at< HTML +More  He works in Vienna, and he is doing research on the surface of the spathes of the above-mentioned genera.   What he requires are samples of spathes.  He recomends that a portion of a newly opened spathe be cut away and affixed to a bit/sheet of cardboard w/ a label/writing as to the spacies, any collection data, etc. which MIGHT be available, and AIR-DRIED, too-high temps. (like the temps. in driers used to prepare herb. sheets) may damage the natural wax (?) coatings.  The rest of the spathe (if you don`t hand-pollinate the spadix) can be fixed in 70% alcohol, then placed in wet alcohol paper wrappings in a plastic zip-loc bag for shipping. Without folks like David, and us assisting him, research on aroids sort of just dies, so I urge you guys ''out there'' (and we know who you are, AND we have ways to make you talk!  :--) ] who over the years have received plants through the kindness of collectors, etc. to respond to this small request and make David`s research worthwhile. You can also contact our ''boss'', Dr. Tom Croat at MOBOT or myself off-l with questions, as Tom is also involved in attempting to obtain these samples for David. Good Growing, Julius --_c9b562d5-c63a-41a6-831b-57e8dcfcc886_----==============w41038232102951449=

I have some space here at home that might work for certain species and I also have contacts at a couple of public greenhouses here in Madison, Wisconsin. I don't think that I could take on anything especially rare or delicate, but if there are any for which it might be useful to propagate more material or test different growing methods I could try to find some space somewhere.

If you have to start with culturing and don't already have plants, it might take too long until the plants flower the first time (the project will last for 2 more years).
