New Botanical Garden in Brazil

From: "Eduardo Goncalves" edggon at hotmail.com> on 1999.12.12 at 20:57:16(3930) Dear Aroiders I am just back from the Brazilian state of Minas Gerais (Belo Horizonte city) where I was helping to organize the living collection of Araceae. The collection still isn't open to the public, but soon will be. I also donated them all my plants (at least those that survivered my last "killer-fungus" attack) and I am still depositing there my field gatherings. The collection is still inexpressive, but we are attempting to make it representative, at least of Brazilian aroid flora. The list of the current collection is presented below. They are planning to exchange plants soon, but by now they are interested in receiving seeds and even tubers (unfortunatelly phytos are needed for tubers in Brazil). If you want to help (at your expenses, because the garden can not refund you), contact me privately. Best wishes, Eduardo +More These are the plants currently growing at the Belo Horizonte Botanical Garden (Av.
