  Botanist Mike Madison
From: ExoticRainforest <Steve at ExoticRainforest.com> on 2010.02.10 at 17:52:32(20562)
Does anyone on this forum havecontact information for botanist Mike Madison?

I am trying without success to find a copy of Mike's A revision ofMonstera (Araceae) (Harvard University. Gray Herbarium. Thisjournal appears to be completely out of print with none available evenfrom used bookstores. Sinceit's the only paper of its type I would like to ask Mike if he would permit the IAS toconvert it to PDF format in order to make it available to aroidresearchers.

The Internet is filled with bad information on Monstera speciesand I frequently receive mail from people wanting to know the name ofthe plant that at least appears to be a Monstera. Were thisinformation to be available many of these questions could be answered.

The best information I can find is that Mike is involved in farmingsomewhere in California. If any of you have a copy you are willing topart with or have a contact e-mail or snail mail address please send mea private note at: Steve@ExoticRainforest.com

Thanks!

Steve

That would be great!

We just need to make sure we can get an approval from Mike before weput it on the IAS site. I sent him a request on Saturday.

What I find interesting about the search for this guy, is that I have not heard of him, yet I have seen him several times at the Davis Farmer’s Market having no clue he was a botanist.

Take a look at the early history ofthe IAS, especially the early history of Aroideana. Mike is aprominent figure in the early days of the IAS. Anything you can do onyour end would be much appreciated.

I sent Mike a note on Saturday but so far no response.

Dear Christopher:

It is amazing that you have seen him.š Hewas not only a botanist but a very good one trained at Harvard and had a veryproductive series of years at Selby Gardens before he decided to get out ofbotany for financial reasons.

I used to hear the name Mike Madison a lot. He seemed to me to be up
there
with Simon Mayo and the other leading lights.

I used to hear thename Mike Madison a lot. He seemed to me to be šup there with Simon Mayo andthe other leading lights.

To stray a little fromAracae this reminds me of a similar case in the 1970s.š One of the foremost, ifnot THE foremost Heliconia experts of the time (before John Kress and FredBerry) was teaching botany at Hartwick College in Oneonta, New York State. Ontwo separate occasions he and I made field trips in Grenada.š He had travelled all overthe parts of Central and South America where heliconias occur, and told me thathe thought Grenada’s heliconias were evolving, because the two indigenousspp. found here, H. caribaea and H. bihai, were freely hybridizing.š This hehad not observed in either neighbouring St. Vincent, nor in Trinidad.

Although he and Icorresponded, after not having heard from him for a long time I discovered thatno-one seemed to know where he was.š Eventually I was told that he had droppedout of the botanical world and was making furniture !

Although I rememberhis first name was Robert, I am unable to recall his surname.

John.

Happy days!

Hiyer, Tom!

He also speaks highly of you, too. He also said that he still keeps in touch with Simon Mayo.

Cheers!

Dear Christopher:

It is great that you made
contact with Mike Madison. He has an incredible background and it would be
nice to get him involved with Araceae again.

Tom
