Amorphophallus from Madagascar - identity request

From: "Brian O'Brien" <bobrien at gustavus.edu> on 2009.10.04 at 03:05:38(20150) Hello All, I bought an unidentified Madagascan Amorphophallus speciesin 2001 from the Huntington Botanical Garden's International SucculentIntroductions program (it's not a succulent, but interestingnon-succulents sometimes appear in the offerings). The plant hassince flowered. I have a request in to the Huntington with regardto whether the species has been formally described, and thought that itwould be good to send the same request to aroid-l. Here's the relevant information, via my Flickr sites: corm with label that contains detailed collection localityinformation: http://www.flickr.com/photos/rose_oxide/3439150285/ inflorescence: entire inflorescence, with HBG tag: http://www.flickr.com/photos/aeranthes/3692522882/ closer view: http://www.flickr.com/photos/aeranthes/3691770493/ closest view: http://www.flickr.com/photos/aeranthes/3691778729/ leaf: entire leaf: http://www.flickr.com/photos/aeranthes/3964633910/ petiole: http://www.flickr.com/photos/aeranthes/3964634062/ If you have any information about this interesting plant, I wouldgreatly appreciate it if you would post it on aroid-l and/or forward itto me.

From: "Wilbert Hetterscheid" <hetter at xs4all.nl> on 2009.10.05 at 12:54:49(20156) Hi Brian, Somebody made a mistake with labels. The label belongs to a series of plants from Roeoesli & Hoffman, all A. taurostigma or a species clolesy allied (Madagascar). The plant in your flowering pictures is the N. Thai - S. Chinese - Burmese Am. kachinensis.
