Dear Derek,
I will certainly work toward making this happen, Eduardo is in the field at the moment, but I should hear from him on his return to 'civilization'.
Where is the site that you mention ('The Living Rainforest') located?? I`d like to see and smell the plants that smell different to our 'regular' P. 'selloum'!
I`d request that anyone who may know of a plant collection that just MAY have some of the VERY old collections of Philodendrons to please contact me w/ their suggestions, I`d love to see some 'pre-tissue culture' specimens of P. 'selloum'.
Good Growing to all,
Julius
>>The Editor of 'Aroideana' says "yes, please" to such a paper, both for
that publication, and because it would be great to have it sorted out
once and for all for Florida. (Is there such a thing as 'once and for
all' in taxonomy?) Derek
p.s to Eduardo I would like to repeat my recent question to you
publicly. The @selloum-type@ that we were working around at The Living
Rainforest had a very different smell to its leaves from that to which I
am accustomed in the common Florida plants. Any comments on odor as a
taxonomic character?
