Re: collecting titnaum seeds in the wild - forbidden?

**&* W* u* B* S* <S*@t-online.de>**

Jonathan,

no it is not stated that the seeds were wild collected, just:

"Amorphophallus titanum 50 seeds, just taken and cleaned from the pulp. Germination usually almost 100%
shipping with express/dhl/ems 5-10 days to worldwide
Packing : will dip it in sterile vermiculate, and pack it in hard small plastic box
No phyto/any paperwork included, buy at your owk risk !
USUALLY SHIPMENTS TO EUROPE and USA 100% PASS CUSTOMS"

The item loction is Medan the capital of the North Sumatra province in Indonesia.
It's very unlikely that the seeds are from a cultivated specimen.

let alone the origin of these seed I would be interested to learn if wild collections are allowed in Sumatra or not......

Rgds, Bernhard.

Since there are a fair number of A. titanum growing and flowering at
botanical centers now, I'm not sure that the assumption can be made that
these are wild collected. Does it say within the description that this is
so?
