>> Folks,
>>
>>
>> Marc Gibernau has graciously made available to us scans on many of the
>> works of Adolf Engler ( 1844-1930 ) , a prolific writer on Aroid taxonomy
>> and morphology. 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
>> original descriptions of many species.
>>
>> I would encourage all members to log in to aroid.org today and check
>> these files out - even if you are not so good with Latin and German, the
>> books are truly interesting just for the pictures and familiar plant
>> names.
>>
>> Not a member of the IAS? Join us today in supporting aroid
