ID of strange Amorphophallus tubers

From: Lup San <e_asiaflora at yahoo.com> on 2008.11.18 at 06:44:44(18732)

Hi all,
these are some rather ineresting Amorphophallus tubers from Thailand. It may not be easy just from tubers but since the shape is rather odd I am posting to see if anyone can identify them - all suggestions welcome !!!
TIA

Hi Lup San,
There are several species with this tubershape (e.g.):
A. harmandii (syn. A. parvulus)
A. napiger
A. laoticus
A. operculatus
A. josefbogneri
Without further characters there is no clear identification possible.
Cheers,
WIlbert

Not at all. That species has a much more substantial corm several
centimeters in diameter in the top and slowly tapering to the bottom.
Large corms can be more than 45cm long and up to 8-10cm in diameter.

Hi Mick,
Nope, longituberosus is never that thin with a swollen upper part (sorry
guys for the wording..........).
Cheers,

Hi Wilbert,
Thanks very much. I was hoping it would be josefbogneri - well we shall see.
