Alvim Seidel

From: Eduardo Gomes Goncalves <eggon at guarany.cpd.unb.br> on 1997.02.28 at 16:08:51(443) Dear Aroiders, I'm back from my field trip and I have tried to contact someone from the nursery of Alvim Seidel as was asked by Neil Crafter. For the last three days I have tried to call them on the phone and nobody answered. I'll try again tomorrow, but I'm affraid they aren't on the business anymore. Nowadays, is somewhat hard to export Brazilian plants for profit, because our dept. of Conservation (IBAMA) has imposed lots of conditions limiting it. Whatever happened, I'll keep all of you that are interested on Brazilian Philos aware. Best Regards, Ed.

Could you do me a favor? Maybe the phone number I have (it was sent by Neil) is no longer valid or is incorrect. Could you send the phone number they put on the claim? I suppose they have someone able to speak english there, but I think it is easier if I do it from here. Regards, Ed.

From: golfstra at cyvox.net.au on 1997.03.07 at 15:10:43(471) Dear Eduardo et al Hooray at last! I have finally received a reply from Alvim Seidel via snail mail ! They did receive my fax but curiously decided to mail me a reply rather than fax me. Anyway they have advised that they will sell us smaller seed quantities ( approx. 100 seeds ) for 30% of the 1000 seed price. They did not send an updated list so perhaps it hasnt changed from 1991.I plan to post the list onto Aroid-L in the next day or so together with prices. I understand Todd Ruth has volunteered to be the US link man. Is that still OK Todd ? Todd I will email you direct the list of names and email addresses of those who have registered interest in being in the seed order, then you can take it from there. Thanks again to Eduardo for his perserverence in chasing up Alvim Seidel for those of us participating in the seed order Regards Neil +More Neil Crafter Adelaide Australia

From: Todd Ruth <truth at weber.ucsd.edu> on 1998.07.24 at 18:17:06(2509) I received queries regarding Alvim Seidel, so unless it is against the list policy (in which case I assume this message will get bounced back to me before even making it to the list), I'll just post the info. to aroid-l. I'll repeat that last year we didn't have great success with germination and had trouble getting the order placed at all due to some medical problems with the father, Alvim (hopefully resolved for the better). Here's some info from the catalog... (I won't attempt to correct errors, although I will attempt to avoid introducing additional errors.)

From: pugturd at alltel.net (Brian Williams) on 2007.11.29 at 00:04:51(16760) I have been contacted by Alvim Seidel nursery in Brazil. I sent a request for a seed list of their aroids and recieved a list very similar if not identical to what I have seen in years past. After sometime they sent a reply and said they will now show photos of their mother plants were the seeds are coming from so people know better what to expect from their seeds. I know many of them were not what they were said to be in years past but I was suprized by some of the things I did get. I did get a few new species and Angra dos Reis was wrongly IDed but it did show up under another name so did crassinervum which seemed to have some different forms once grown out from seed which was a interesting and nice surpize. So far they have sent me pictures of the following plants. I will ask permission to add them to the list so they can be better IDed. Thought some of you maybe interested. appendiculatum +More crassinervum paraguai lonilaminatum curvilobium tuxla Angra do Reis undulatum Selloum compactum philo lundi
