Re: THE TROPICAL RAIN FOREST COLLECTING TEAM DREAM

From: "Adao Pereira" miguelporto at mail.telepac.pt> on 2001.05.01 at 21:04:55(6344) Hello Dany and all! Oh yes. If you like the Maranthaceae I strongly advise you to go to the Americas... you can't imagine what I've seen in Costa Rica. It's a very easy country to go, we had no problems at all, and I even collected a few living plants that I brought to Portugal, aswell as many seeds (mainly Calatheas and Heliconias). +More Do you imagine forests of giant Calatheas and Heliconias... and the giant Anthurium salvinii growing on the trees... and forests of giant horsetails... and trees growing *under* the dense cover of epiphytic orchids and bromeliads... all this and much more I've seen and touched. But Costa Rica is an easy country. What I really want is to go to Papua New Guinea. Has anyone gone there? Come on, share your Tropical Experiences! Again concerning Tanzania - very nice, I will arrive right on the day of the eclipse! But what aroids should I look there in Tanzania? I have plenty of time! Does Anchomanes giganteus grow there? See you all, Miguel
