Chen Yi numbering system

[George R Stilwell, Jr.]

I think for any numbering system to be workable, we'll all need to know
what numbers
were offered for what names in each year. My experience is largely for
the 1998 list
which I've lost. So I have no idea what the numbers are for most of the
Arisaema offered.

I bought plants labeled:

A. bathycoleum
A. biauriculatum
A. brevipes
A. dilatatum
A. du-bois-reymondiae == A. engleri (A-24)
A. elephas
A. fargesii
A. franchetianum
A. lingyunense
A. lobatum
A. rhizomatum
A. rhombiforme == Typhonium horsfieldii
A. saxitile
A. sikokianum
A. sikokianum f. serratum **
A. wilsonii
A. zanlanscianense == A. consanguineum
A. sp.1 == A. bathycoleum
A. sp.9

three of which were IDed. I haven't worried about the rest because they
promptly died.
But I have no idea what the Chen Yi numbers were on most of them.
The ** item is not a legitimate Arisaema forma, assuming the species name
might be correct.

Then there are these:

A-26 == A. amurense
A-27 == A. amurense
A-25 == A. angustatum v. peninsulae

for which I know the proper ID but not the name that Chen Yi called them.
I'm not even
sure which year (list) they're from.

What we need is a complete list with list year, numbers, and Chen Yi name
( the one I lost)
and than I'll go through the archives to attach the ID for those which
have been identified.

How about some help here? If y'all know some of the proper IDs, please
include them too.

I note that Eric's list does not include numbers or list date, if y'all
can help us here
maybe Eric will update the list for us.
