Go to the site http://www.hort.net/lists//aroid-l/search.cgi and type the genus (or subject) that interests you within the aroid business. It will bring you past posts on Aroid-L, since 1996 (yes, since the stone age). Everything you send to aroid-l is kept in their archives, so there is a lot of information there! Try this!!!! I have discovered, as an example, that my English did not improve too much since my first recorded posts! Cheers, Eduardo. +More >Hi Ron, > >Like many Aroids, this one is also very toxic, the juice from the tuber is >said to be used by natives to kill maggots, and a warning has been given to >handle the dormant tuber (which is covered with a white 'bloom' of >crystals) >with gloves.
