RE: unknown Amorphophallus plus Pseudodracontium

From: "Wilbert Hetterscheid" hetter at worldonline.nl> on 2002.05.24 at 19:22:25(8871) Dear Chandrit, The Philippine Amorphophallus could be either Am. plicatus, although this one is only known as an endemic from Sulawesi or it is an undescribed new species close to it. A few decades ago a similar species was collected on Mt. Makiling and probably a new species but the sole herbarium specimen was destroyed by herbarium beetles. There is need for a second specimen to get this one published. The Pseudodracontium cannot be identified for sure without close-ups of the naughty bits but its general appearance suggests P. lacourii. The Typhonium on the page is indeed T. cordifolium. I'll contact you privately for more details and questions.
