seedlings

From: MJ Hatfield <oneota at ames.net> on 1997.03.25 at 03:02:52(529) Currently on the Arisaema List there is discussion of multiple shoots(?) from one seed. I had a A.konjac seed germinate in January. In February up came a second shoot and now there is a third one coming. Any comments? +More Just curious. None of my others did this. MJ Hatfield

MJ, I have germinated only a few Amorphophallus seeds and never observed this. But, it is very common omong the young tubers I have. I have observed this on several species including A. titanum last year. Don +More Don Burns Plantation, FL USA Zone 10b

I have >observed this on several species including A. titanum last year. Same thing here. One of A.titanums has been sporting three shoots for the last 4 months or so. All of the A.prainii have multiple shoots (with 7 being the record).

Even young plants after their first dormancy may still do this but usually this behaviour subsides when the plants get bigger. Notable exceptions are the species from the paeoniifolius alliance. These sometimes produce two leaves when mature and then get VERY big! I think also bulbifer may do it when mature. +More Cheers, Wilbert

From: ggusman at ulb.ac.be (guy gusman) on 1997.03.25 at 13:59:46(534) Just a question to try to understand the problem. Where do the seeds come from? Did you collect them on your plants. Were they sent by post? >Currently on the Arisaema List there is discussion of multiple shoots(?) >from one seed. I had a A.konjac seed germinate in January.

From: "Karlzita" <karl-otto.zita at swipnet.se> on 1997.03.27 at 16:38:04(546) Hi Guj, The seed came from a privat person in Japan.Had most likely been stored d= ry for a longer period.Those wich germinated immediatly were A.ringens with = a single leaf,A.serratum and kishidae,both with tripartite leafs.Those wich have made bulbs but not emmerged above the soil,where A.serratum v.amplissimum and yamatense.Dont know but they majbe need an ather period of cold treatment.Will try with the first one.You will get information ho= w it goes. Only one of the A.franchetianum has formed a second leaf.Found that it ha= d formed a lanciolate leaf qwite different the others broad obovate.That migth bee the reason for it to make two leafs,to bee able to store enough food for the tuber. Happy Eastern.
