Amorphophallus in Nepal

From: StroWi at t-online.de (StroWi) on 2001.01.04 at 00:46:28(5803) Dear Aroiders, I need some information on Amorphophallus napalensis and A. margaritifer. A friend will be in Nepal for the next year, so he might be able to get hold of a tuber.... +More In order to instruct him, I would be glad to get answers to some questions: - Where could he get the tubers? - Are there local/common names for these species? - Could he possibly buy them, or does he have to collect them? - Is a collection restricted? - In which region of Nepal do they grow? - At what time of the year are the plants dormant? - What should be considered about the sending (so it will happen...)? Are there any other species in Nepal? (Due to the species list from Wilbert, I think there are no others, or have I overlooked one, or should there be a third species discovered recently in Nepal ?????) Any answer or suggestion welcome. Thanks in advance, Bernhard. StroWi@t-online.de is: Bernhard Strolka Alte Dorfstr. 33A 31311 Uetze-Dollbergen Germany
