Rob McClure replied > to me that his flowers every other year. (Rob, correct me if I am wrong.) Maybe this is the year the Remusatias flower all over the world? One of mine has flowered, too (the tuber and the emerging inflorescence of that one can be seen in http://ng.netgate.net/~kk/Araceae/Remusatia/vivipara1.html). One notable difference wrt Don's observation (which, as I recall, was that the inflorescence was quite epehemric, having unfolded and wilted withing a day or two): the inflorescence has lasted for nearly two weeks. Its smell resembled that of a fresh potato cut open - somewhat unpleasant. KK
