Re: [aroid-l] OT: NY Times Rafflesia article

Hmmm ... sorry, everyone, a friend sent me the link, and I did not have to
register or do anything to access it, and I don't recall that I ever did.  
But I've checked my browser and apparently sometime in the dark past I
did. (Registration is free, of course, but a pain.)

I tracked down the home page of Dr. Todd Barkman, of Western Michagan 
University, quoted in the NYT article and lead author on the paper. His 
home page is interesting if you like Rafflesia:

http://homepages.wmich.edu/~tbarkman/rafflesia/Rafflesia.html

but does not really talk about the new paper. The paper was published
online; the abstract can be seen (free) at:

http://www.pnas.org/cgi/content/abstract/101/3/787

The gist is the separation of Rafflesia and Mitrastema, traditionally 
classified together, into Malpighiales and Ericales respectively, from 
mitochondrial DNA studies.
