Michael,

thanks for the=A0reply.


Actually the plant is not =A0mine,

but belongs to a fellow aroider of our German http://www.amorphophallus-forum.de/ , post # http://www.amorphophallus-forum.de/viewtopic.php?f=3D22&t=3D1548&sid=3D99672338838cf8fc65c3d7932ebb833b=A0;you have to be registered to=A0see the pics, that's why=A0I posted the pictures directly.

He suspected that is not paeonifolius, maybe due to the variation in the basic colour of the petiole and in comparison to=A0the paeonifolius he has seen before.


I myself grow two seed raised plants which look identical (see attached pic, the big plant in the center) and, I guess, pretty typical for the wild=A0type paeonifolius (rough petiole, glossy upper leaf surface).


Regarding the seedling from my fellow aroider - so you would say it fits with the described traits (smooth "stem", bacis=A0petiole colour=A0from green to reddish, allways with big white spots) in the variation seen in paeonifolius?


Any more comments from others?


Happy commenting, Bernhard.

Why do you say it's not paeoniifolius ? =A0note ii ..
some spp. have several different =A0forms of coloured stems .
you will have to wait until it flowers before doubting ..
It could possibly be a hybrid if it was seed .

Amorphophiles,


would somebody recognise the species from the attached pictures?


The basic colour of the petiole is variable from green to reddish, but it always has the big white spots.


The seeds were bought in spring via ebay from the seller squeaky-buffalo as paeonifolius, it's obviously not paeonifolius.

Or could it be the paeonifolius with the smooth "stem"? (I guess not.....)


Happy id-ing,

Bernhard.
