Bryonetters,
The late Joh. Proskauer was growing many thallose heps on agar media, but i
cannot find much detail about that in his reprints. The Stotler Crandall
couple in Carbondale surely have experience they can share ?? Metzgeriales
can only be studied welll from living collections. Burgeff had extensive
living Marchantia coll. I grew gemmae on deeply dugg up peat, excellent
medium for Calypogeia, even saw cell divisions in vitro during my highschool
years. The Munich Bot. Garden greenhouses with lots of weathering lava blocks
and great use of peatmoss as medium are full with fern prothallia and all
sorts of bryophytes spontaneous growing. My first studied tropical moss came
from a treefern in the old Palm house of the Hortus Bot. Amsterdam next to a
very old Cinn, zeylanicum long ago imported from Ceylon. Herbicides and
pesticides were unknown that time fortunately. Wim Meijer
