Re: [Aroid-l] Trademark Names/Aroid book

From: "Steve Lucas Exotic Rainforest" steve at exoticrainforest.com> on 2006.11.28 at 15:38:11(14872) Can't argue that Xanadu may be trademarked but it is also a scientific name. You can find it on TROPICOS. I'm not sure how anyone can trademark a scientific name. Philodendron xanadu Croat, Mayo & J.

I believe there is also some sort of 'patent' on at least one vining Philodendron, the one w/ varigated leaves (white, scarlet, green) and which 'bleeds' a wine-colored sap when cut.Concerning Deni Bown`s book on Aroids, I recomend it MOST highly, it contains a wealth of invaluable information all compiled in one source, and makes for good reading also. In our world of Aroids there is nothing else that even comes close. It is worth getting no matter what the price may be.Good Growing,Julius>>Are there any other aroids which are trademarked (excluding Anthuriums and >>Zantedeschias)?Does anybody has experience with Timber Press? Any opinions about the Aroid book (anybody can respond...)?Bye,Jani_______________________________________________Aroid-l mailing listAroid-l@gizmoworks.comhttp://www.gizmoworks.com/mailman/listinfo/aroid-l _______________________________________________ Aroid-l mailing list Aroid-l@gizmoworks.com http://www.gizmoworks.com/mailman/listinfo/aroid-l
