From: "Carla Kostelac" <Carla.Kostelac at mobot.org> on 2013.08.12 at 16:15:25(22892) Dear Aroiders: This message was sent to Tom Croat and he asked me to post it on Aroid-L. Tom said that this could have been a tube of Colocasia. Thanks, Carla Kostelac This is a question of the Belgian Anti-Poison Centrum. Between a lot of potatoes some unidentified tubers were found. Someone did eat them but they caused an irritation and a swelling of the mouth, just like oxalate crystals can do. HTML +More Do you think these corms may belong to an aroid? Do you have any idea what it can be? Thank you for your quick answer.
