IAC plants

From: MJ Hatfield oneota at ames.net> on 1999.08.26 at 13:37:07(3599) Would it be possible to get more information about the plants that were offered for sale at the IAC in St. Louis, like the original country of collection and perhaps horticultural information? I'm interested in the MOBOT plants that have accompanying numbers and John Banta's plants, Pycnospatha and Typhonium. +More Also, in repotting these plants I found that Amorphophallus kuisanua (#81374) was growing in long fibered sphagnum. What would be the reason for this and should it be potted up in the same or in the soil/peat mix I use for the other Amorphophalluses? One last question; will there be an issue of Aroideana discussing Dracontium, similar to volume 19 on Amorphophallus? Thanks. MJ Hatfield

Check the catalog that came with the registration material; most of the duplicates are in there with coll. info. Someone else will have to provide the hort. info.
