Howdy again All,

I realised on rereading this that this paragraph was confusing.  I had
meant to say that I have 8 or 9 mature species with about 3 or 4 obvious
leaf types between them, but the aray on the seedlings produced so many
more variables.

So.... my observations regarding leaf shapes was on the emerging leaves of
the new seedlings, rather than the 8 or 9 mature species.  It will also be
interesting to record the leaves as they appear now, and then compare them
to their appearance when they get to maturity.

Thought I had better correct that as it read wrong.  Guess I'm too enthused
about the seedlings and didn't read the message properly before I sent it.
Sorry for the extra message.

Cheers.
