Re[2]: typhonium

From: alistair_hay_at_po-sydney at rbgsyd.gov.au on 1998.10.21 at 04:05:56(2708) T. divaricatum IS identical to T. roxburghii! Forget divaricatum, it is a synonym of roxburghii and there is no reason to use the name. T. blumei and T. roxburghii look fairly similar; the feature I gave is a reliable one for telling them apart, assuming that what you have is either one or the other.

I am assuming by your comments that T. divaricatum and T. roxburgii look identical in flower from a couple of feet away and the only way to tell is to examine their sex organs when in flower. Is this correct?
