Dear Doug and Charles,
Hello All,

This item was discussed almost a week ago, but our local network was
down and I could not react immediately.

Considering the data on germination of Cephalotus in the
neighbourhood of adult plants, reminds me of orchids. So I was
wondering if there has been any research done to find out if
this species (or any other CP) bear mycorrhizae? At least it could
explain the good germination, although it is more difficult to
explain why cuttings also root better. Mycorrhizae are very common
in almost all plants, but up to now the only plants I know which
really depend on it for germination are orchids, some lower-plant
spores (e.g. Lycopodium-prothalli) and Pyrolaceae. Is there
anybody who knows more about micorrhizae in CP?

Guy
