Thirst for Knowledge

From: "Kerry Taylor" <K.Taylor at lion.rbgkew.org.uk> on 1997.01.08 at 16:30:06(75) Dear All, Some of you will already know me but for those who don't, my name is Kerry Taylor and I am the student currently working for Peter Boyce at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew. +More I am at Kew for a year and my main project is the compilation of an economic database for Araceae. So far I have found uses for over two hundred species. This data has been found in books, journals, papers etc. Some of you have been kind enough to send me data via E-Mail, which brings me onto the reason for this letter ! Is there anyone else out there with any information on the economic uses of Araceae ? I am searching for more information on food (Incl. animal foods) uses, social uses, medicinal uses (Incl. use as a posion), environmental uses, material uses and horticultural uses. If anyone has information that they think would help me, I would be really grateful if they could send it to me via E-mail or snail mail. Thanks, Kerry. My Snail mail address is : Kerry Taylor, Herbarium, Wing D, Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, Richmond, Surrey. TW9 3AB
