I believe that Bogner MIGHT have had it back around the time it was being discribed, but it probably would be difficult to keep alive, as it grows in swift moving water, highly acidic. Good luck, Julius +More ju-bo@msn.com

From: Tom Croat <croat at mobot.org> on 1998.02.04 at 04:29:43(1898) Julius: It is a bitch to grow because of the special area it grows (submerged in blackwater streams flowing off white-sand areas). We tried it once. Josef did have it in cultivation but I don't know if he still has it. If he can't grow it I would guess you might as well not try! My student Jane Whitehill needs some material for her studies so if you succeed in finding it let me know.

From: "Julius Boos" <ju-bo at email.msn.com> on 1998.02.05 at 16:16:49(1901) Dear Tom, These are my thoughts exactly concerning this very unique plant. Don Burns was the one asking if it was available, and what you have now said is in effect what I had posted. I am having a few probs with my "new" e-mail (new version of my old MSN ) system, so you would have received a message which I will now ask you to pass on to Guang Hua please. Any word on the new issue of Aroideana as yet? Sincerely, Julius +More ju-bo@msn.com >Julius: It is a bitch to grow because of the special area it grows >(submerged in blackwater streams flowing off white-sand areas). We >tried it once.
