Searching for A. fortunei
This particular species of Apios was imported into the US in 1914 by the US Government. Where it ended up from there, I have yet to discover the answer. (And trust me, I have looked everywhere) I am searching for a specimen of A. fortunei. I know it is cultivated now in Japan and and still grows wild in many other parts of Asia and Southeast Asia. Outside of having a tuber or seeds imported (at such an expense unless I find a private person willing to ship them via mail)I would like to know if anyone has had the opportunity to come across this particular species?
Here is a link (I do apologize it is in Japanese and I only know how to say hello and goodbye in Japanese so I cannot translate the page) But....it has some nice pictures!
