Dear Zane,

It looks like a form of Am. paeoniifolius with a smooth petiole,

I have photos of a larger one,

they are still in the ID Center, but it is already identified

and the photos will be moved to Araceum

Best,

Marek Argent (Abrimaal)

No, it is rather A. bulbifer as Bernhard says.

We have ruled out paeoniifolius from some friends who collevct amorphs.

It is not bulbifer, no bulbils anywhere, plus the leaves are rounder than bulbifer. Here's the plant.

No bulbils, and the mottling of the stem is different from bulbifer. I made a video of the plant.

I agree Marek, it very much appears to be A. paeoniifolius, the smooth form.

Summer temps in the greenhouse get up to 105 Farenheit at high sun, and somewhere between 65-78 Farenheit at night. During the winter I keep the heat in the greenhouse at a constant 60 Farenheit. I bought my lambii as a plant probably 1-2 years old, and had to bring them in because the heat and sun is too hot for them, and me. You can take a shower and put on clean clothes, and go out in the shade and almost immediately you're soaking wet from sweat. I also have 2 high power attic fans (moving 19,000 cfm of air each) to pull heat out of the greenhouse during the summer.

Not any form of paeoniifolius, leaves i've seen online on all of those do not match.

Amorphophallus paeoniifolius has small leaves, this one has big ones, as these are seedlings I doubt the first leaves are going to get 2 feet tall.

Well, I hope, if it doesn't get identified to everyone's satisfaction, there will at least be a sample kept in a refrigerator. It needn't be from a living leaf. When the day comes when DNA sequencing can be done in your kitchen sink with a kit from the pharmacy, someone will figure it out.

I say that in view of the news report the other day of a man in Sweden who was trying to build a small atomic reactor in his kitchen to power his home.

You don't have to believe me but the argument that yours has bigger leaves is irrelevant. Paeoniifolius (among many other Amorph species) cannot be accused of being stable in leaf size. In fact it is THE most variable one in the genus.

There are varying forms of any plant species. I myself have two different clones of paeonifolius one with big "leaves" as you mention and some with a finely dissected leaf. Just because the leaf is not exactly the same as another clone you are comparing it to does not rule it out as that species. Look at A. Konjac for example, there is knightstick, leo song, gordons gold, shattered glass, and pinto. Despite their various appearances they are all nonetheless A. Konjac.  Wilbert Hetterscheid is one of the guys that would know, and for what its worth I agree with him on his identification.

Is there a photo anywhere online of a smooth stem paeoniifolius in bloom?
