Re: Cycad references?
Thanks John, for the suggestions. I did an inferencefind search and
the virtual cycad encyclopedia didn't come up, so I am glad you
pointed it out to me. Actually, someone did point me to the website
of a cycad nursery here in my area even (in Fallbrook!). Guess I
need to go out to the library to find the book you are referring to.
If only we had a decent library system here, I'd depend on it more,
but in all honesty, it STINKS. I don't even bother taking my kids to
the library. Pretty sad state of affairs...
