Re: [aroid-l] Arum key project

From: "Peter Boyce" boyce at pothos.demon.co.uk> on 2003.04.20 at 07:24:08(10105) Dear Dr Mishra There seems to be a little confusion here. The key I am producing is for the temperate genus Arum, not for Colocasia. There is currently no key to Colocasia that is reliable. If the species you have collected in India are wild species and not cultivated clonotypes or land races I may be able to help identify them since I have done a lot of fieldwork in Bangladesh and know the species there very well.
