[Aroid-l] Aroid Parts department

From: abri1973 at wp.pl (Marek Argent) on 2008.08.03 at 17:43:55(18323) Hi, I think this picture may be helpful for people who name the aroid inflorescence simply "a flower". Although it isn't any artistic drawing it helped some of my friends in naming the inflorescence's parts.
