[Aroid-l] Thyphonium nubicum vs Typhonium venosum 'Indian Giant'?

From: StroWi at t-online.de (StroWi at t-online.de) on 2007.08.23 at 21:25:40(16146)
Aroiders,
some years ago there was a Thyphonium venosum 'Indian Giant' offered in
the US.
+More
Could someone drop a few lines how to differentiate the regualar venosum
from 'Indian Giant'?
In the Netherlands there is a plant named Typhonium nubicum available
that grows tubers up to 8 kg ( about 17 lbs).
I guess T. nubicum is not the botanical name anymore or even a phantasy
name.
Does anyone know what could be behind this....?
Furthermore could T.v. 'Indian Giant' be identical with T. nubicum?
Looking foreward to any comment.....
Bernhard.
