Thank you, Wilbert!
Okay, here are some better pictures. One with the cutaway spathe. In case it is not obvious, the spathe has a deep red/purple/browncolouration at the spathe limb base, inside the inflorescence. I hope thesewill assist you in the ID.
Thank you for your time,
Christopher

Subject: Re: [Aroid-l] Amorphophallus ID please
My guess is Am. variabilis.
As a general point to everyone who wants anAmorphophallus identified,
please, cut the spathe away on the frontside and makepictures of the
naughty bits (this goes for many more Araceae!!).
Cheers,
WIlbert
