Re: More on Arisaema erubescens

From: Ellen Hornig <hornig at Oswego.EDU> on 1997.02.27 at 02:00:18(437) A less-than-scientific addendum to this debate: last year I bought seeds of A. erubescens/whatever from the Seed Guild, which, I believe, got them from Kunming BG. The seedlings are now in their second dormancy (just), and I have noticed two things: (a) they certainly did exhibit enormous variability in their first true leaves: leaflets ranged in shape from extremely narrow to moderately broad, and a few had lovely silver central variegation. (b) the corms, though only around 2cm in diameter (pretty fast-developing for seedling arisaemas), made masses of little offset corms (cormlets?) - many on the order of 4 or 5 per parent. Was it Roy Herold who referred to it affectionately as the "weed of Yunnan"? Ellen +More Ellen Hornig Seneca Hill Perennials 3712 Co. Rte. 57 Oswego, NY 13126
