  Stinking seeds

Jonathan,

Never noticed that smell you describe for Amorphophallus seeds but also
never ever did try to smell that. Amorphs do seem to exploit a typical
bird-disperion syndrome with conspicuously coloured berries. Beats me why
after disperion and leaving the bird cloaca, a certain smell would be
necessary.
