[Aroid-l] New aroid in western Australia?

From: Steve Marak <samarak at gizmoworks.com> on 2011.01.21 at 00:07:12(21773) I've seen several web hits today on this topic, all of which seem to wind up at the same text. The articles all call the plant an "arum lily", don't give a genus or other botanical information, say that it was found in the Kimberly region by Matthew Barrett (Perth's Kings Park & Botanic Garden) along with other various new species in that remote area, and that the infloresence smells of burnt electrical wire. Here's a representative link: http://www.perthnow.com.au/news/western-australia/new-lily-found-in-kimberley-smells-like-burnt-electrics/story-e6frg14u-1225991862095 The picture is *an* aroid, but no idea if it's that aroid; one of the other articles showed a picture of Zantedeschia aethiopica with the same text. Anyone happen to know more about this? I dug through the KP&BG web site a bit but didn't find anything.
