Re: [Aroid-l] Fwd: Seeds of Typhonium (Sauromatum) brevipes, or gaoligongense

From: Victor Soukup <soukupvg at email.uc.edu> on 2007.07.15 at 17:14:03(15978) Dear Marek, At the time of the transfer of Sauromatum to Typhonium there were three species in the genus Sauromatum, one very common, venosum, and the other two of which I need a few seeds for chemical analysis. This request has nothing to do with growing. T. venosum is indeed very easy to propagate. It is actually hardy here in the Cincinnati area, although I don't know the source of the plants --- did they come from the northern limits of the range in east Asia or from the Cameroons in equatorial Africa. I repeat my request: does anyone have, or know of someone who has, seeds of either or both of the other two former (at the time of the transfer) species of Sauromatum? Vic +More Victor G.
