There are pictures of the plant on pages 228 and 303 and some text which states................. native to Equatorial Africa and Gabon, fleshy tuber with 25cm chalice like inflorescence, bright yellow with red-purple inside. Dissected leaf appears after flowering. Cultivation......min.62F (16C), filtered light, evenly moist soil kept dryer when dormant. As Victor said this is one great looking aroid.
