Subject: Re: New Nep.pollen bank

Hi all
        After recent discussions on this list-server,I have started a
Nepenthes pollen bank.I've decided to make it open to everybody ,in spirit
with the great work done by the I.C.P.S. and C.P.N.
 Members are asked to send in their spare pollen when they can,and are given
a choice of pollen's when they have a female come into flower.
  If anybody wants to register please drop me a private email,so that I can
compose a file of members.
 Having pollen "on hand" as female Nepenthes come into flower will hopefully
allow many more interesting and desirable crosses(hybrids) to be made.
  So far I have pollen from N.bicalcarata,N.ramispina,N.venticosa and
N.talangensis
in the bank and three U.K. members.

                                               Best Wishes
