Pseudodracontium lacourii ID?

From: oplanto at comcast.net (oplanto at comcast.net) on 2008.07.25 at 20:40:22(18242)

I purchased three tubers last year as Amorphophallus aberrans, now that they've leafed out they look like Pseudodracontium lacourii to me. Would someone please confirm this identification for me? Or suggest an alternative if I'm wrong, which is quite possible given the extent of my knowledge of aroids! :-)
Thanks,
Larry

It sure is a Pseudodracontium and most likely what has been known so far as
P. lacourii.
Cheerio,
Wilbert

Hey Ron,
Are these the flowers of Pseudodracontium lacourii?

Nope! I won't guess at what you have, but I'll hazard a good guess it's not a Pseudodracontium. As far as I know those all (mostly) flower while in leaf, not before like Amorphophallus.
I also think it's not Am. obscurus. Those have tiny inflorescences like yours but the spadix on those is long and skinny, not like yours. The spathe also looks different. Now maybe one of the experts will tell me that obscurus is quite variable?
I await a positive ID from Wilbert or Alan or Ron...

Ken is ALMOST right, it is Am. serrulatus, a close relative of Am. obscurus.
Dear newbies to Amorphophallus: please have a look at the
Amorphophallus/Pseudodracontium pages on the IAS website. They should be
updated (my fault) but there is enough to see and read for an introduction
on what is an Amorphophallus and what not. Use the resources that are freely
available!

Michael,
Your picture is that of Amorphophallus serrulatus.

It's certainly not Psd. lacourii. All the Pseudodracs have flowers
that look superficially similar, a cymbiform green or whitish spathe on
a more-or-less elongated petiole and usually flower with the leaves up.
I don't recognize this at all. Where did these come from?

Hi Ron,
You will never guess the source of the Amorph serratus tubers - Patti Lee!
Actually she got them from a friend in China, I think. That's why when I saw
the photos of the foliage and then, her flowers ... I sorta didn't think
they went together. Thanks for the help.
