Wow, good to know... ----- Original Message ----- From: Graham Rice To: Pacific Bulb Society Sent: Friday, April 06, 2007 5:27 PM Subject: Re: [pbs] Arum In his 1993 monograph, Peter Boyce treats A. concinnatum as a separate species, as does the RHS (http://rhs.org.uk/rhsplantfinder/plantfinder.asp/). Also, Peter Boyce has recently revised his opinion on A. italicum, concluding that subsp. italicum and subsp. neglectum cannot be separated. I'm sending Mary Sue a pdf of his article in The Plantsman magazine (March 2006) in which he explains this. Unfortunatately, I cannot make it available to all as this is copyright material and I only have permission for limited private circulation. 'Marmoratum' is now treated as a cultivar.
