Seeds of Anchomanes giganteum

From: "Malkmus, Bjoern" malkmus at verwaltung.uni-mainz.de> on 1999.10.11 at 22:10:39(3732) Dear Aroid'ers, one of my Anchomanes giganteum plants is making a nice seedhead with some 100+ berries, which are about to ripen within two weeks, as the formerly white fruits are now turning to a gently light-violett color and are becoming soft . I already checked some berries and it seems, that probably all of them will contain a seed. Wherever possible I would like to trade them for Amorphophallus spp. (except A. konjac), other Anchomanes spp., Dracontium spp. or Pseudodracontium spp. (seeds, corms, ...). If there will be some left after trading [hopefully not ;-) ] I will send them anyway for free to anyone interested (please include your complete postal address in your e-mail !), on a first-come-first-save basis, and a maximum of 4 seeds each. Dead-line will be Monday, October 17th. Seeds will be sent during that week or as temperatures will allow it. In order not to make the same mistake as I regrettably did with some A. titanum seeds last year, I would like to ask you what methods of shipping these seeds would protect them best: 1.) The whole berry in peat or at the air ? 2.) Only the seed, cleaned from the fruit pulp, in peat or at the air ? 3.) Shall I add any fungicide to the berry or the seed as well ? Any help is most appreciated. Secondly, on Timothy Chapman's homepage I saw this species written as "Anchomanes giganteus" - so my question: what latin genus does Anchomanes have ? [my latin knowledges are some 15 years old ...]. Best wishes and have a pleasant autumn ! Bj?rn Malkmus +More http://www.malkmus.de
