From: plantguy at zoominternet.net> on 2005.04.21 at 10:41:26(12879) Hello fellow Amorph lovers of the world, I've been working with a fellow in Thailand to try and get a few species of Amorphophallus imported and have been successful in locating a few species that you may be interested in which I have listed below. While some of these are at my house now, most will be shipped in about 2-3 weeks time. Wilbert has helped with the ID on a few of these (thanks Wilbert) and in particular I think the Am. scaber should be commented on. This has been collected in N. E. Thailand and apparently represents a new distribution pattern for this species which is quite exciting! The Pseudodracontium was also collected in N.E. Thailand and is quite common there I'm told so I do not know if it is an import for the food market (these are reportedly eaten as vegetables in that part of the country) or is a naturally occuring species. Please e-mail me directly (plantguy@zoominternet.net) if you are interested in any of these and I can send along pictures for your perusal. All of the tubers are blooming size and have already bloomed this spring to verify the ID of the species. Am. corrugatus +More Am. crudassianus Am. kachinensis Am. longituberosus Am. macrorhizus Am. scaber Am. yunnanensis Pseudodracontium sp. I will also be getting in some species from Australia a bit later in the year if anyone is interested in these as well. Am. galbra (Darwin River, Daly River and Kululuk forms) Am. paeoniifolius (Daly River and Darwin River; these have the wonderful yellow ring around the spathe that the variants from Aus. are known for) Dracontium sp. (this species grows to about 3 meters, but has still not flowered to produce an ID) Thanks so much for allowing this advertisement. Best wishes to all and I hope everyones Amorphs are happily breaking dormancy, Dan Daniel Devor Gibsonia, PA (zone 5b/6a and very warm today) plantguy@zoominternet.net www.TreasuredBotaniclas.com _______________________________________________ Aroid-l mailing list Aroid-l@gizmoworks.com http://www.gizmoworks.com/mailman/listinfo/aroid-l
