Sorry, but I do not know this work and have never done anything special on
coffee (although I have done book research on Haitian plants). Have you
sent your query to Bob Corbett, where you have a wider net of people with

,.....Bob, would you want to put this out if you have not already received
the query? Thanks, Carrol
