Re: Identification

From: "Wilbert Hetterscheid" hetter at worldonline.nl> on 2001.06.28 at 15:59:30(6910) My guess would be a Dracunculus. A "spontaneous" Amorphophallus would not likely be a species with flowers and leaves at the same time. POSSIBLY a Typhonium venosum, but again, flowering apart from the leaf.
