Also have a few A.konjac growing in a new bed in the full sun and they are small [50 cms] +More Curator Whyanbeel Arboretum.M.Pascall. >From: "Adao Pereira" >Reply-To: aroid-l@mobot.org >To: mickpascall@hotmail.com >Subject: Amorphophallus campanulatus? >Date: Wed, 13 Oct 1999 19:19:14 -0500 (CDT) > >Hello all! > >I wonder if A. campanulatus is the same as A. paeoniifolius.
