Re: [Aroid-l] Intrageneric crossing - a good reference

From: "Peter Boyce" botanist at malesiana.com> on 2006.01.30 at 08:01:24(13787) Hermine Just to make you even MORE scared, most people don't even put Sanseveria in the Liliaceae any more... What frustrates me about all the efforts expended on family shuffling & debating is that, e.g., c. 65% of the aroids of Borneo have yet to receive even ONE name!

Pete and the NAMES you have to make up for them! you might know this already and not even care...but the position among the Liliaceae of Sansevieria is still being debated hotly by the 12 people who care. I am slightly terrified of orchid breeders. hermine _______________________________________________ Aroid-l mailing list Aroid-l@gizmoworks.com http://www.gizmoworks.com/mailman/listinfo/aroid-l _______________________________________________ Aroid-l mailing list Aroid-l@gizmoworks.com http://www.gizmoworks.com/mailman/listinfo/aroid-l
