Dear Fellow Aroiders:
My student Claudia Henríquez is
working with me at Washington University here in St. Louis and is attempting to
understand the evolution of leaf lobing in Anthurium. While she has already discovered
that this evolved three times in Anthurium she needs to know a lot more about
the process and this requires that she dissect seedlings at their very early
stages. Thus she needs a lot of seedlings. I am hoping that some of you might
have one of more of the following list of plants in your greenhouse and would
be able to send us seeds to be sown for this purpose. Some of these are Mexican
species and are reasonably common in cultivation while others are not. I would
be very grateful if you have any of these species if you could check for seeds
or try to self pollinate the plants to get seed development. You will, of
course, be recognized for your contributions.
Most appreciatively yours,
Tom Croat, Missouri
