Don't take me too serious.....

O.k., I see that some people are upset with my less than serious babble =about the FoC key. Believe me, the key isn't anything to be happy with =as it is. For one thing, the whole bockii-sazensoo-engleri stuff =originates from that key, because it doesn't recognise Ar. engleri, nor =does it mention the name anywhere in the synonymy, nor in any of the =near-100 descriptions of Arisaemas in the manuscript. I think throwing =such a key into our eminent circle, wouyld cause confusion instead of =clarity. For one thing, you should see the mess surrounding the =elephas-handelii alliance......... Not to mention all the "species" =filling the "gap" between Ar. fargesii and Ar. franchetianum. Oh, and =then there is Ar. consanguineum-ciliatum-erubescens........ 

Tormented greetings,
Wilbert

p.s. if you want the key, pay me 200 Euros (don't know how many menhirs =that is, or dollars or whatever).
