  [Aroid-l] Biarum tenuifolium ssp. abbreviatum
From: Steve Marak <samarak at gizmoworks.com> on 2018.09.07 at 20:22:21(24039)

Received with that name, at least; opinions from the experts would be
welcome.

The attached picture, which I know is poor, is of inflorescences on two
plants that opened today. The odor to me is exactly that of a wood fire
at the beginning of a rain, smoky and slightly acrid, but Cathy thought
it more a mushroom smell.

What's the pollination biology of Biarum as far as when pollen is mature
and when the stigmas are receptive? (And are they self-fertile?)

Thanks,

Steve
