Subject: Plant ID request
=0A
Dear helpful person from the Aroid Identification =0ACenter,
=0A
I am writing to you with a rather unusual =0Arequest.
=0A
We received some images from a plant (presumable a Araceae) =0Athat was found by customs at the New Zealand border.
=0A
The plant was in a rather bad (rotten) stage and I can't =0Aidentify it.
=0A
I thought you might be able to help and could at least =0Aconfirm that the object in the picture is indeed a corm of a Araceae. Maybe =0ADracunculus?
=0A
The plant arrived from the UK. This all I =0Aknow.

I am grateful for any comment
=0A
best wishes
