Re: rharias: Re: Anthurium hybrids

From: plantnut at macconnect.com (Dewey) on 1999.10.05 at 22:35:52(3697) Robert Arias... I agree with all that you said about Anthurium hybrids.... It has taken up a lot of the time, over the years, at the Board of Directors meetings of the International Aroid Society. The IAS has been designated as the Registering Authority by the International Nomenclature Commettiee to register all of these hybrids. Knowing the parents would inhance our knowledge and once a hybrid is registered, it would go by the Registered name no matter who remade the same cross. The only problem that the IAS has is that no one wants to tackle this mountain of work. It would require a lot of dedication and a lot of ground work to dig out the history of some of these plants.... If someone would volunteer.... they would have the clout of the International Nomenclature Committee and the IAS behind them. This would help but it would still require a lot of work. Possibly, one of these days, the IAS will find a member that is willing to tackle this mountain. I sure hope so. Until then, we will just have to muddle thru with the mountain getting larger all the time. Sad, isn't it....? Dewey +More Dewey E.
