Hi all, I'm new to the group, coming from a linguistics background but catapulted into botany. I joined the group to learn more about tropical plants I'm finding in my study area: the Lacandon Rainforest in Chiapas, Mexico. The site is lower montane Rain Forest, elev. 800-1100 meters. Some of these plants start life as a bulb. So here I am. Suzanne Cook Dept.of Linguistics University of Victoria Victoria, BC V9E 2J1 CANADA
