Peltandra virginica

From: eduardo gomes goncalves <eggon at guarany.cpd.unb.br> on 1997.09.20 at 04:00:12(1278) Hi Aroiders, I need more of your wise advice. I have received some seeds of Peltandra virginica from a good American friend. As some of you already know, I'm conducing an anatomical survey and need fresh leaves from all aroid genera I can put my hands on. My problem is: I have no idea how I could germinate this one. I know it is a temperate WD (water-dweller) and that adult plants need some time in the fridge in order to continue to grow. So what about seeds? Do they need cold treatment to germinate? I could try it by myself but it isn't wise try to rediscovery the wheel. I know there is an old article concerning the germination of Peltandra seeds (West & Whigham Bartonia 44:44-49, 1976), but I could find it here in my poor library. Any suggestions are pretty welcome because I even wonder what I have to do. Thanx in advance, Eduardo.
