Re: Tuber vs. Corm and how about pronunciation?

From: Jmh98law at aol.com on 1999.01.13 at 01:28:57(2884) Yes, I would like to see this discussion again, especially with respect to Arisaema, from my garden's point of view. The PhD botanist from whom I get my Chinese and Japanese Arisaema (name withheld for obvious reasons) calls what he sends me "bulbs". [For that matter, he pronounces Arisaema "Air iss(accent) i ma" When I studied Latin in another life and a long time ago, the "ae" was pronouced as "ee" [as in seek], which would make it "Air i see(accent) ma". Any opinions out there on the proper pronunciation? In the new book "My Favorite Plant", Ken Druse says Arisaema grow from "tubers". What do you think? Jeanne +More Zone 5b
