Hello AEG-ers (that includes me),

I know, I know, I shouldn't stick my phalloid nose into Arisaema matters
but I may have some interesting things to report. Material that reaches
me for the Amorphophallus collection occasionally contains Arisaemas, and
we're talking tropical species here. So far I have had flowering A. scorte-
chinii, A. ?kunstleri (-ish), A. anomalum, several clones of A. filiforme,
A. laminatum, A. umbrinum, stuff like that. Nothing much interesting, eh?

Anyway, I have made several photos of most of these and think it would be interesting to have these available on the net in some place. Who of you has an idea?
Who can/wants to scan etc.? I'm impartial. I also have several photos of
temperate species that may be added to somebody's page. Whatever you guys 'n
dolls prefer.

Today I have an Arisaema flowering collected in ba Vi, in North Vietnam. Looks
like a copy of Ar. tortuosum........... That sounds a bit too eastward for
that species. maybe it is Ar. heterophyllum or Ar. saxatile, or anything
similar. Sounds like your opinion is wanted and this could also best be done
via the Net with photos.

Cheers, Wilbert
