Re: [Aroid-l] Engler's Works Scanned for Members

From: brian lee <lbmkjm at yahoo.com> on 2010.03.10 at 16:58:47(20735) Dear Albert and Marc, Aloha. Mahalo (Thank you) for making Engler's classic work available to the member ship. What a treasure...and monumental effort on the part of Engler. It is little wonder that he is considered a giant in aroid circles. Just a quick look at the beautiful black and white line drawings was a joy. Thanks to both of you again for doing this great service for the IAS member ship. We have Engler's work in Hawaii, but, to have it accessible from o ne's own computer is such a convenience.

This comprises nearly 250MB of PDF files, which have been cleaned, OCR'ed and uploaded to the members area on aroid.org. Included are some very nice line drawings scattered throughout, as well as the orig inal descriptions of many species. I would encourage all members to log in to aroid.org today and check th ese files out - even if you are not so good with Latin and German, the book s are truly interesting just for the pictures and familiar plant names. Not a member of the IAS? Join us today in supporting aroid horticult ure, education and research at http://www.aroid.org/society/joinias.php and get access to these and many o ther wonderful publications.
