Re: Venezuelan Aroids

From: "Julius Boos" <ju-bo at email.msn.com> on 1998.11.21 at 04:03:29(2776) I will be traveling in Venezuela in January, and would like to know which Aroids are likely to be in bloom there at that time. I will be first in Merida State, visiting paramo and cloud forest habitats, then will go into Barinas State, to the Caparo Forestry Reserve, which is a dry forest habitat. Is anyone familiar with the Venezuelan aroid flora? Jason Hernandez Naturalist-at-Large Dear Jason, You need to immeadiately purchase a copy of Aroideana Vol. 9, (1-4) 1986, "The Araceae of Venezuela" by Dr Thomas Croat. Everything (or most) of what you need/want to know is in it. Contact-- The International Aroid Society, c/o this forum. You also need to join the Society if you are already not a member!
