  [Aroid-l] Protarum sechellarum
From: "StroWi at t-online.de" <StroWi at t-online.de> on 2018.06.26 at 10:37:48

Aroiders,

 

would someone know, if Protarum sechellarum is self fertile?

 

I had a plant flowering last year.

I left the flower on the plant and did not pay attention to it anymore,but when repotting it recently, I found more or less dried berries with small seeds. Of course I will sow them, but would someone know something on pollination, fertility etc.

 

I found that the seeds should be 0.7-1 cm long, 0.4-0.5 cm diam:

but what I found is much smaller; so maybe these are not fully develpped seeds.

 

Any comment very welcome...

 

Bernhard.
