*******************************
The following is a list of carnivorous plant associations that have
responded to my queries. For each society I have included some additional
information, all of which is self explanatory. The final entry for each
society is a revision date. It represents the last time I have proof that
the group exists. Some of these societies are short-lived, so if a society
has a revision date older than a year, it may already be out of date.
After the last entry is a series of addresses for societies that have not
responded to my inquiries. The addresses may be invalid, the societies may
have dissolved, or the people in charge may act slowly. In any event, let
the subscriber beware. If you know of any societies that I have not
included, please email me or Rick Walker at
