Is this an aroid?

From: "Marek Argent" <abri1973 at wp.pl> on 2007.07.27 at 00:28:45(16000) Hello all! Today I got these photos to identify, but I think the plant isn't a member of Araceae. What can you say about this? Marek +More ----- Original Message ----- To: abri1973@wp.pl Sent: Thursday, July 26, 2007 4:42 PM Subject: Possibly unidentified aroid Good day. We found this unusual plant growing in a pot at a nursery in south Florida and the nursery owner, considering it a weed, gave it to us. From its growth habit, we first considered it an aroid; however, since the blooms are opening, we're not sure at all. For size reference, the plant is pictured growing in a 1-gallon pot and there is approximately a 2-week span between the first pictures of the buds and then the buds opening. Please let me know if I can be of any further assistance and I definitely appreciate whatever help you can give us.

Well I may be the odd one out, but I don't believe that it is T. leontopetaloides - it definitely is a Tacca, but I have the leontopetaloides species growing and flowering on my deck right now, and neither the leaf nor the flower cluster are right on. hmmmmm Jonathan +More Dear Marek, this plant is Tacca leontopetaloides.
