ABSTRACT:

Amorphophallus, a large and ornamental genus within the Araceae, has been very little implicated in the creation of new hybrids. Merely in the hands of enthusiasts, first attempts have been made in recent years to explore the possibilities of interspecific hybridization within this genus. We want to document these attempts as far as we know of them, in matters of ‘‘trial and success’’ in order to encourage other enthusiasts to follow us on this exciting exploration.
