Amorphophallus abysiniccus

Dear All:
Does anyone know how to get this plant to break
dormancy. I know very little of its cultivation so
any hints on temps and media would be appreciated.
Hardiness? All I know is that it doesn't like water.
Thanks,
Elizabeth Peters

I can't help you on the dormancy thing, but I hope that you really have A.
abysiniccus. I bought 2 from guy wrinkle in calif. that turned out to be
Gonatopus species. They were bulbs that were round and wide on the bottom
and pointy on top, like a triangle or pyramid. they took a while to break
dormancy last summer, and had a very short leaf. but they had that knob or
knee in the stem that proved they were gonatopus and not the real thing. I
checked with guy and he said that they all looked like that.

Now there's a common African phalloid mistake. Gonatopus in Africa is often
misidentified as Amorphophallus, as are, more understandably, Anchomanes
species. An Amorphophallus tuber usually (90% chance) has a noticeable
depression on top in which rests the bud. Indeed, Gonatopus is more
pyramidal.
