Re: Xanthorrhoea quadrangulata

Your file was 774kB and was probably a huge un-edited graphic from a
digi-camera.  Please be aware some of us connect by mobile cell phone at
9600 bps as we live in the campo (Spain) and do not have copper wire
connectivity.  Broadband, wide band,  ASDL or any other form of fast
connection are just unknown to us.  Please don't start a trend of
broadcasting pictures otherwise we'll have to resign from the list.  And
when you do send them please compress them or reduce them in size.
