Re: [aroid-l] Typhoniums linked

Ranting Rand,

You are absolutely right. Us taxonomists make life complicated at times. On
the other hand, plant people are inherently conservative in this, not
appreciating the scientific dynamics of taxonomy, which after all IS
science. What would happen if scientific developement stopped? (I don't
expect a smart-ass answer to this!!!!!!! o.k.!!!!!)

Congrats with your Sauromatum labels! Don't throw 'em away just yet!!!!!!!!

Cheerio,

Lord P.
