Asking for leaf material of Polygonanthus (Anisophylleaceae)

Wed Apr 2 00:23:48 CST 2003

Dear all, 

I am looking for leaf material of Polygonanthus amazonicus and / or P. punctulatus (Anisophylleaceae). This genus is endemic in the Brasilian Amazon and very important for an ongoing molecular phylogenetic study of Cucurbitales. I would be very grateful if someone could send me leaf material of one or two species of this genus.

Thank you very much!
