Re: [aroid-l] Symplocarpus

From: "Peter Boyce" <peterboyce at myjaring.net> on 2004.04.16 at 22:21:40(11403) But is the water fresh? Where does the water to make the woodland swampy originate? If it's welling ground water (most likely if the land is not undulating or at the bottom of hills, etc.) of if it's seepage/run off (most likely if it is undulating land or at the base of higher land) then it's going to be moving water and fresh.
