Re: More Synandrospadix

Dear aroid people,

    There is a very useful resource that I think some of you do not know. 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.
