Sorryabout that!  Its 2:15 AM and my brain is not fully on!

The accepted name is
Amorphophalluskonjac K. Koch published in 1858.

Amorphophallus rivieri Durieu ex Carrière  was published1869

First publication wins the prize.

I see many people refer to konjac as rivieri.

What is the story behind that?  Is rivieri an old name, or what?

Just curious....
