 Dear Family and Colleagues:
Please find attached a combined review and original research paper written with members of faculty of the Kunming Botanical Institute (Yunnan).  Most of it was written with my former post-doc, Dr. Ren Zong-Xin.  We think this paper has some new things to consider regarding the breeding and pollination of both domesticated and semi-domesticated species.  The interesting thing about traditional Chinese crops is that food is medicine and medicine is food.  While the Chinese certainly hand-pollinate a number of specialty crops (under rather recent domestication) it is hoped this will correct the notion that ALL bees in China are dead and everything is hand-pollinated.  Our new research on Codonopsis (Campanulaceae) is in here and you might be surprised by the pollinator (the Chinese farmers weren't surprised and they weren't amused).   
Some of you have already received the galley of this paper.  This completed version is bigger, bulkier and some of you may be unable to receive it.  I can't help that except to make hard copies on request and snail mail them.
Peter
