Re: Which back issues??

From: plantnut at macconnect.com (plantnut) on 2000.06.12 at 02:41:20(4732) Jack, Not much has been written about Aracee.... for a couple of reasons... (1.) Araceae has really just become popular within the last ten or fifteen years... and (2.) Grants are not easy to get and money is what greases the wheels of publishers. Another reason could be that there would be a limited audience for a major work... Several Scientists have bridged all of these obsticles. but they are high.... I have one copy of "A Revision of Monstera" by Dr. Michael Madison... Reprinted from "Contributions from The Gray Herbarium of Harvard University, No. 207" from 1977. You might want to write Harvard and see if they have copies available.... This is the only specific book that I am aware of.... nothing on Rhaphidophora.... Sad!!!!
