Barthlott, W. & W. Lobin (eds.), 1998. Amorphophallus titanum. Trop. und subtrop. Pflanzenw. 99: 1-225 (partly in German, partly in English). N.b (by Wilbert Hetterscheid): When in the history of botanical literature was ever a single book dedicated to one single plant species!!!?? Unfortunately the editors made a gross mistake in not publishing the entire monograph in English. Now a considerable part of the target group of the book is cut off of all this knowledge.
