I have received seeds that were seemingly very dry which germinated. Typical aroids can’t be allowed to dry out at all but perhaps since Thaumatophyllum evolved in the much drier habitats of the catinga and matte atlantica they have adobted a different reproductive strategy and that dry seeds are the norm. Find out from Taylor how many days his seeds were in transit. I few days of wet conditions might be good but the longer transit time to Europe were not so good.

Sent: Wednesday, August 08, 2018 2:53 AM To: Discussion of aroids Subject: Re: [Aroid-l] Philo 'Chumley' x 'Chumley' An aroid-friend of mine is in private contact with Robert Chumley and he got some seeds. He wanted that I sow some under mine conditions, but neither me nor him has germinating seeds after 3 weeks. The seeds came in a padded envelope in a ziploc and were very moist with "pulp"(?) from the fruit; good conditions for bacteria, we think... We guess that they did not survive the long time being sent over the Atlantic to Germany. Too sad...... (as the present POTUS would probably twitter......) Bernhard.
