Dear
Emily,
A warm
welcome to you to the list on behalf of the many aroid 'nuts' out here in
cyber space.
If there is
anything or any assistance that you think this large and at times pretty
intellegent [ :--)> ]resource
out here
might be able to assist you or Tom with, please don`t hesitate to post a cry
for assistance on this L, most will try their best to at least give an opinion
on the question being asked, and some questions can be answered
off-l!
Again, a
warm welcome to you, and our best to the rest of the folks at
MOBOT!
Sincerely,
Julius Boos

>>Dear Arioders,
As a
new subscriber to your list, I'd like to take a moment to introduce
myself. My name is Emily Orling, I recently graduated from Gustavus Adolphus College in
Minnesota, and I just began working with Tom Croat at the Missouri Botanical
Garden. Some of you might know Petra; I'll be taking her place as a research
assistant to Tom. My knowledge of Aroids is fairly limited, but I'm
excited to learn about these interesting plants! I have
already begun training about how to describe aroids, how to distinquish different sections of
Anthurium, and
how to deal with the complex recording systems. It will take us a while to dig out
from under the large backlog of work in the office and greenhouse, but we hope to get
back to work on the Revision of Dieffenbachia, Araceae for the Flora of
Ecuador, Flora of Chiapas and Flora of the Guianas.
I hope to get to know most of you via correspondence with
the aroid group or at the Garden, and eventually get an opportunity to
meet some if not all of you! Thank you for your
time,
Emily
Orling<<
