Subject: [Aroid-l] New Aroideana, Vol.
32, 2009.
Dear EVERYBODY,
I received my copy of the new Aroideana
earlier today, and talk about something that was SO worth waiting
for! WHAT AN ISSUE! Congrats to our tireless Editor
Derek Burch, and to all the authors who are responsible to such an eclectic
collection and mix of both scientific AND ''popular'' articles and
papers!
We will, I am sure, all have or personal favorites,
but mine was one of two of Josef Bogner`s articles, the one on Zomicarpella, a
tiny plant which I have been researching the origins of and wondering
about for over 20 years, way back since there was a photo. of the one
leaf and a bloom from cultivation in 1881, with no real info. but published in
a REAL early issue of Aroideana (Vol. 1, No. 3),Tom Croats article on
Colombian aroids, superbly written and illustrated (as usual!), all the other
scientific descriptions by Pete Boyce and others, and the wonderful papers on
private collections/gardens by M. Challis, Steve Lucas and Leland Miyano which
I have already read, plus I still have left all the other authors from
Holland, India, France (nice work, Genevieve!) This volume will keep me busy
reading for days to come.
As one would say back in my Trinidad, W.I. (land
of "de chubas"), "Allyuh, dat is one book fada!" (All of you, that is the
father of books).
Good Growing,
Julius
