Re: burle marx

From: "Eduardo Goncalves" edggon at hotmail.com> on 2000.11.30 at 03:45:49(5729) Dear Aroiders, Since the topic here concerns books about Roberto Burle-Marx, I think I have some information to add. There is a book in preparation (to be published in two years or so) that will deal with tropical plants of Burle-Marx. There will be more than 1000 plants, all with colour photographs and comments on origin, distribution, etc (in Portuguese and English). Aproximately 400 are aroids and almost half of them are Philos. It will be published by Instituto Plantarum (www.plantarum.com.br) and I am helping the author (Harri Lorenzi) to ID the aroids. Like I already said in a previous message, most species have reached their maximum size (I mean they are huge!), so if you like nice pictures of well-grown rare plants, keep your eyes opened for this book. Very best wishes, Eduardo. +More >From: EGoldfluss@aol.com >Reply-To: aroid-l@mobot.org >To: Multiple recipients of list AROID-L >Subject: Re: burle marx >Date: Wed, 29 Nov 2000 08:56:24 -0600 (CST) > >Good Morning: > >I have two books on Roberto and am familiar with a third. >Roberto Burle Marx a Portrait by Laurence Fleming and Roberto Burle Marx >by >Flavio L.
