[Aroid-l] Oh, these neverending Amorphphallus IDs

From: hetter at xs4all.nl (Wilbert Hetterscheid) on 2007.08.10 at 14:19:56(16081)
Hi ken,
This is CERTAINLY not A. muelleri. It seems tio be a mixed bag, some of
which I suspect of being paeoniifolius, others (notably those with uniform,
spotless stems) seem to be A. koratensis.
Don't shoot the messenger.................
