Trying to Locate an Article

[Lesley Cox]

I'm trying to locate an article in an AGS Bulletin of some years ago, about Podophyllums. There was a photograph of three fruits, red, white and yellow, of PP. hexandrum, pleianthum and the American one whose name I can't remember. Any suggestions with the number or Volume of the Bulletin would be appreciated.

Lesley, there's an index to the AGS Bulletins online, on this page

Alpine Gardener Cumulative Index

The article you mention is in Vol 64, p 334.

When I just opened the page at the article, I saw the picture on p334 and thought, for a brief moment, that it showed Jeffersonia dubia alba (until I noticed the Podophyllum leaves behind the flower) - I don't think I'd ever really seen the Berberidaceae family connection before.

..and the American one? Podophyllum peltatum.

..and the American one? Podophyllum peltatum.  

 
And that "American one" is, strictly speaking, the only one now left in the genus Podophyllum, the others dispersed into other genera: P hexandrum now Sinopodophyllum hexandrum and P pleianthum and its allies into Dysosma.  

Here's the reference, if anyone wants to know why  
New combinations for Sinopodophyllum hexandrum

Thanks for the reference Diane.

Here's the American one...Podophyllum peltatum...the May Apple.
Not one of my better shots but will give some indication of the flower and the leaves.

Thank you everyone, for the references and information especially the reminder about the cumulative Index, about which I'd totally forgotten.

I can real off the names of half a dozen others I'm never likely to have but for some reason peltatum (of which I currently have seedlings) always escapes me. Aren't all those fruit quite beautiful?
