Dear Pascal,
Your suggestion looks interesting. Does it mean you have got Arisaema lid===0D
aense in cultivation? If 
so, could you share with us, AEG members, photos on FLORAPIX? Up to now, ===0D
I didn't see living 
specimens of Arisaema lidaense and am sure AEG members would be glad to l===0D
ook at photos.
On the other hand, up to now and to the best of my knowledge, I didn't se===0D
e any valid publication 
about any kind of close relationship between A. lidaense J. Murata and A.===0D
averyanovii V.D. Nguyen 
& P.C. Boyce.
By the way, which laboratory is currently testing Arisaema leaf samples?
Regards.
Guy
