Dear all A nice botanical paper on rare Androcymbiums can be found at http://www.step.es/jardcan/107Pedrola&al2003.pdf. The article has several color photos and line drawings. It also proposes yet another name change for A. latifolium. Until recently, A. pulchrum and A. latifolium were thought to be separate species based on the mistaken belief that A. latifolium came from Namibia and that the bracts were deep pink versus purple in A. pulchrum; they were recently combined into one species which must take the name of A. latifolium. Sorry Mary Sue, I cannot positively identify your "A. latifolium". Either it is an undescribed species, or it is a cross involving latifolium and some other species. A thesis dealing with Colchicaceae family, including DNA sequencing results, can be found at http://publications.uu.se/uu/fulltext/… (requires Acrobat Reader). I'll leave it here in reporting that there will be a lot of name changes following this research! Regards Julian Slade
