  Re: [Aroid-l] Amorphophallus ID please
From: "Christopher Rogers" <crogers at ecoanalysts.com> on 2009.09.11 at 17:35:24

Thank you, Wilbert!

 

Okay, here are some better pictures. One with the cutaway spathe. In case it is not obvious, the spathe has a deep red/purple/browncolouration at the spathe limb base, inside the inflorescence. I hope thesewill assist you in the ID.

 

Thank you for your time,

Christopher

My guess is Am. variabilis.

 

As a general point to everyone who wants anAmorphophallus identified,

please, cut the spathe away on the frontside and makepictures of the

naughty bits (this goes for many more Araceae!!).

 

Cheers,

WIlbert
