Bonaventure:  thanks for report--in my yard, (Chicago area).only one
triphyllum came up in the spot where they grew before.  A sikokianum
(patterned) from Asiatica is up, two A-08 from Chen Yi (don't know what t=hey
are yet), a potted A-97, dark red poking through the ground, and a potted
A-71 which is very small;  was in rapid growth when I got it, stolonifero=us,
tuber about the size of a penny in diameter, subglobose, leaves  seven in
number, pedatisect and arranged as for omeiense, or meleagris;  pseudoste=m
about 4" high, leaves rather delicate and thin, light green, convexly cur=ved
downward,with slightly extended tips on them,  chubbily lanceolate (not a
botanical judgement).  I suspect it is either a miniature or immature.  W=ill
have to wait and see.    Adam in Glenview, IL .
