Hi Mark,

Your DJHC445 refers to a collecting trip that Dan Hinkley (the 'DJH' 
part) made to Yunnan, China (the 'C' part) in 1996. Tony Avent and I 
were along with Dan on the same trip, and made some of the same (or 
similar) collections.

Judging from the sequence of DJHC numbers in an old Heronswood 
catalog, it appears that 445 was somewhere between Zhongdian and 99 
Dragons. Narrowing it down a bit further, I'm guessing that this one 
came an area north of Tiger Leaping Gorge Village, near a dam. 
(Details: N27=B0 19.919', E99=B0 59.147', 7300') I made a couple of= 
collections of my own near there, and they all turned out to be A. 
fargesii (although at the time we might have been calling them 
franchetianum). We did collect the true A. franchetianum in downtown 
Tiger Leaping Gorge Village, and there is a chance what you got is 
one of these. There are lots of pictures of both types on the 
Arisaema Page (http://genesis.ne.mediaone.net/~rrh/arisaema.html).

Most of the A. taiwanense that Heronswood offers derive from 
collections that Bleddyn and Sue Wynn-Jones made in Taiwan-- so they 
probably have BSWJ numbers. Well worth growing.

=46inally, I doubt very seriously if you will see T. kurabayashii and= 
A. candidissimum blooming at the same time. They flower about two 
months apart.... Nice thought, though.
