Re: colocasia non-tubers

From: Lester Kallus <lkallus at earthlink.net> on 1997.12.01 at 21:46:58(1677) No responses yet. I recall have read a similar question once before and no one answered that one. Well perhaps you and I will be answering this for everyone else shortly. I've photographed all of my tubers and untubers but haven't gotten around to adding the images to my website yet. Next spring, I'll keep track of which ones sprout and which don't. I'll post results and perhaps that will answer our question. What I'd love to hear from the academicians here, though, is the purpose of the tuber if the "untubers" also germinate.
