I can send the article to your private mail address when I am back in Finland on Oct 20th.

Hi Markku,
Thank you very much for all your information. It is very helpful. It does explain why the two are very similar yet different at the same time. I would very much like a copy of the article. It would help to sort the spieces I have and I am sure it is very interesting reading. Having names etc owuld be nice. Please let me know what you all need. I can send you my email address etc.
Regarding hardiness, do the different M.yunnanensis species have the same hardiness or does it vary and can you comment on the hardiness of the overall spieces? I plan to test 3 of the 4 outside overwinter here with protection. The one with more color I plan to bring in this winter.
Thanks again! I really appreciate it,
Eric
