Jim,

Would have if I could have, Jim. I don't have a copy of the paper nor do
I have:

Lovett, D. J. & Cavers, P. B. 1982. Resource Allocation and Gender in the
Green Dragon, Arisaema dracontium (Araceae), Am. Midland Nat., 108:144-8.

which is older than the:

Clay, K. 1993. Size-dependent gender change in green dragon (Arisaema
dracontium; Araceae).  American Journal of Botany 80:769-777.

or

Keith, Clay 1993. Size Dependence of Gender in A. dracontium.. Am. J.
Entomology 7-1-93

Could it be that Clay, K and Keith, Clay are really one and the same?
I'll bet they are and he published in two journals. Now I need to find
out which is the correct name.

What's more, I don't have a copy of:

Sanders, L.L. and C. J. Burk 1992. A naturally occurring population of
putative Arisaema triphyllum ssp. stewardsonii x A. dracontium hybrids in
Massachusetts. Rhodora 94:340-347.

that Roy refers to.

As you can see, I'm just a veritable font of references without
information. I'll look at NC State and Duke.  Surely one of us can turn
up a copy of these papers. If so, I'll add them to the documents
available list.
