green berries/shriveled seed, was mystery seeds

[Ernie O'Byrne]

I've had the same experience (described in detail in the archives of
Arisaema-L) with A. sikokianum. I was very surprised when all of the small,
seemingly shriveled seeds germinated.

>From my experience I have had seed of saxatile
collected from my own plants that were shriveled and
tiny from green berries, and then obviously plump
healthy seeds in lower quantities from red berreis. It
was probably about 30 seed in all. Most of them
germinated for me, even some little shriveled seeds.
I have had a similar experience with yunnanense.

Not sure if it would work for any other species
though.
