Re: [Aroid-l] collecting titnaum seeds in the wild - forbidden?

From: Tom Croat <Thomas.Croat at mobot.org> on 2014.11.05 at 20:40:41 The species is very rare in the wild and to find it in fruit in Madagascar would be even more incredible and surely not worth  the expense considering that people are getting seed production in cultivation.     Tom Croat, Missouri Botanical Garden From: aroid-l-bounces@www.gizmoworks.com [mailto:aroid-l-bounces@www.gizmoworks.com] On Behalf Of Cyndi Krall Sent: Monday, November 03, 2014 1:59 PM To: aroid-l@www.gizmoworks.com Subject: Re: [Aroid-l] collecting titnaum seeds in the wild - forbidden?   Just out of curiosity-I have no plans to buy any, so please don't send me hatemail-does 200,00 mean they are selling the seeds for $200.00 US dollars each? Comma instead of a period there, so I'm not sure what that translates to.   Cyndi -----Original Message----- From: Ertelt, Jonathan B <jonathan.ertelt@Vanderbilt.Edu> To: Discussion of aroids <aroid-l@www.gizmoworks.com> Sent: Mon, Nov 3, 2014 11:03 am Subject: Re: [Aroid-l] collecting titnaum seeds in the wild - forbidden? 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?   Jonathan     On 11/3/14 8:03 AM, "StroWi@t-online.de" <StroWi@t-online.de> wrote:   > Aroiders, > esp. titanophiles, > > due to recent offers at ebay > > ( > http://www.ebay.de/itm/Amorphophallus-titanum-35-seeds-Fresh-SOME-ALREADY-SPRO > UTED-MAKE-YOUR-OFFER-/321569296285?pt=3DLH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=3Ditem4adf060f9d ) > > there is a discussion in our German amorphophallus forum wether it is allowed > to collect titanum seeds in the wild or not. > > I know that titanum is not listet in CITES but the local law might as well > forbid collecting seeds. > > Would anyone know something about the situation? > > Happy growing, > Bernhard. > > > > _______________________________________________ > Aroid-L mailing list > Aroid-L@www.gizmoworks.com > http://www.gizmoworks.com/mailman/listinfo/aroid-l   _______________________________________________ Aroid-L mailing list Aroid-L@www.gizmoworks.com http://www.gizmoworks.com/mailman/listinfo/aroid-l --_000_442112D3D8737B41868F544B2D822F877C63EC84MBGMail02moboto_-- --===============8194361332656491561==
