Aquatic Plant Central - Josef Bogner gets honorary Ph.D

Here's a quote from Jan Bastmeijer off of the Crypts List:

As you probably know, Josef Bogner was and is very active in the waterplant hobby, with special interest in the aroid genera Cryptocoryne and Lagenandra. In these genera he is honored: Cryptocoryne bogneri (Rataj 1975), and Lagenandra bogneri (de Wit, 1978), both species from Sri Lanka.

Claus-Dieter Junge of the Aqua Planta group from southern Germany was at the promotion in Botany of Josef at March 5, 2004, and took some pictures. See the pictures at:
