<< I'm quite new to this list, been lurking for a while before I launch i=n.  I

have seedlings of A flavum, sown in 1998.  In this pot of seedlings, one

plant has flowered this year (it was a tiny flower, even by A flavum

standards).  Now this plant has produced berries.  Is there any way this =can

have fertile seeds without another A flavum to pollinate?

A. flavum is one of the few bisexual arisaemas, having both male and fema=le
flowers on the same inflorescense, so fertile seeds are certainly a
possibility. A tortuosum is another species that is monoecious.
