  [Aroid-l] Pinellia Polly Spout
From: "Tony Avent" <tony at plantdelights.com> on 2010.07.07 at 15:41:07(21161)
Dear Aroiders:

I wrote last year that the "sterile" Pinellia 'Polly Spout' had indeed
become fertile when it was grown near another flowering species of pinellia.
We planted our first batch of seed from P. 'Polly Spout'x P. tripartita last
year and they are now flowering. I had expected a range of variation, but
instead got what appears to be a case of obligate apomixis, as every
seedling appears clonal. We have established another isolation block with P.
'Polly Spout' and P. cordata and P. peltata. I will report on those
seedlings next season.
