Re: [Aroid-l] Amorphophallus ID please

From: Geoffrey Kibby <fieldmycol at yahoo.co.uk> on 2007.06.21 at 23:41:54(15807) Hi there, I have some of the same species, they were imported by a cactus/ succulent dealer here in the UK from Madagascar and labelled as A. hildebrandtii and all have that distinctive white central vein on the leaf. The stem is mottled very much like konjac, mine are about 2-3 years old now so should flower soon I hope!

See the picture in post #153 http://www.exoten-forum.de/vb/showthread.php?t206&page or see the picture directly here: http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z115/Digitalrhythm/ Amorphophalluscf.jpg The plant was labeled as A. hildebrandtii but it is doubted that this is correct. Other suggestions based on the leaf are so far: A. venustus, A. taurostigma, A. pendulus What do you think? Or maybe Lord P.(hantom) could send a flash of enlightment up from the catcombs under the opera in the Lower Lands ;-) Cheers, Bernhard. _______________________________________________ Aroid-l mailing list Aroid-l@gizmoworks.com http://www.gizmoworks.com/mailman/listinfo/aroid-l _______________________________________________ Aroid-l mailing list Aroid-l@gizmoworks.com http://www.gizmoworks.com/mailman/listinfo/aroid-l
