[Jennifer I Clark]

Hi,

Thanks for all this information. It's really a huge help. :-)

 From what you're saying I understand that the thing that we were 
talking about as 'non-vegetative vivipary' is properly called 
'pre-harvest sprouting' amongst certain biologists. Perhaps that should 
be the name of the term? Do you have any more names for it? We can add 
as many names as you can give us just by putting them in a synonyms. The 
synonyms don't have to be exact. We can add absolutely any names that 
will help domain biologists to find the term that they're interested in.

Do you have special names for the kind of vivipary that happens in 
Bryophyllum?

Thanks,

Jen

PHS is conditional upon environmental triggers, but may be genetically related to vivipary....
