Just wanted to pass along that we now have two species of Arisaema
successfully tissue cultured, A. ringens and A. serratum.  The serratum
arrived from the lab with one plantlet actually in flower with a fully
developed inflorescence (all went through a dormany period before being
shipped to us).  The clones are tc'd from dormant eyes on the tuber so th=e
plantlets are from meristem and not callus.  Will keep you posted on the
tissue culturing of arisaema...
