Re: [aroid-l] Arum key project

From: "Peter Boyce" boyce at pothos.demon.co.uk> on 2003.04.21 at 15:25:07(10110) Dear Dr Mishra I'm sorry to say that I have very little experience with these cultigen groups. However, from my observations in in SE and S Asia it seems to me that the cultigens (and perhaps also the land races) fall roughly into three vegetative types. +More 1. large, barely offsetting tubers 2. lots of much-offsetting small tubers 3. almost no tuber development but much stolon development 1. var. antiquorum 2. var. esculenta 3. var. aquatilis but here hasten to add that I have not made by any means a deep study of these 'groups'.
