Dear Michael:
Martinique is by now rather well known as there is a flora published
but I don't know about Barbados (I think that this island is less covered
with vegetation). I have been working on the Araceae of the West Indies but
making little progress owing to many other projects. I have been to
Martinique and it is lovely. St. Lucia and Dominica are also pretty rich in
Araceae.

Hi all, I would be interested in knowing the Araceae of the West Indies,
preferably of Martinique and Barbados. Im sure these two islands are not
that
high in species, at least not the latter, but I know of several Anthurium
and
Monstera species occuring on Martinique, and at least one Anthurium on
Barbados.
Does anyone have species lists for either of the islands or has anyone
been
to these islands first hand to witness aroid species? Does Montrichardia or
Dieffenbachia grow on either of these islands? How about Urospatha?
By the way I have changed my internet service so my old email address (to
those of you who knew me from mattlagem@aol.com) is no longer in service.
Thanks in advance, Michael Mattlage
