Amorphophallus aberrans help

From: M.van_Dinther at lumc.nl (M.van_Dinther at lumc.nl) on 2008.08.10 at 16:43:14(18360) Hi, I got two Amorphophallus aberrans bulbs from Thailand some time ago. The leaves have emerged but the leaves from the two bulbs are completely different. One has a light green stem with dark green spots and the other one has multiple leaves with light green stems with dark green vertical stripes. Can someone teel me if these are really aberrans? or something completely different. The bulbs are slightly elongated. Thanks.

Some of them are lettuce green with only a few streaks or elongate silver/white spots while some of them have nearly black/purple petioles and then there are those that have combinations of everything inbetween. That having been said, I have about 75 aberrans and they have leaflets are are more elliptical and less pointed than your illustrations. Also, aberran's corm is elongated but much like a parsnip or carrot not long and pencil-like.
