[Aroid-l] ID please?

From: abri1973 at wp.pl (Marek Argent) on 2008.07.17 at 09:38:12(18189) That's what I fight for!!! Every plant in any shop should have a label with genus, species and/or cultivar name. It should be protected by the international law. Just like all goods in shops must have a label with name, ingredients, producer and barcode, plants may not be an exception from this rule.
