Amorphophallus konjac hybbrid?

From: <M.van_Dinther at lumc.nl> on 2010.05.17 at 06:17:40(21076) Some years ago I bought an Amorphophallus yunnanensis (according to the label), Now this year it has bloomed and it is definitely not yunnanensis, it (to me) looks more like a hybrid between konjac and perhaps napalensis. I have posted some pictures here : href="http://s533.photobucket.com/albums/ee340/maartenvandinther/">http://s533.photobucket.com/albums/ee340/maartenvandinther/ .. I do not have pictures of the leaf, but this does not look like a konjac leaf, the leaflets are much more slender, although not as slender as in napalensis. The petiole looks (as I remember correctly) like the peduncle in the picture. Total size of the inflorescence is 103 cm, peduncle 56 cm, spadix 47 cm.and spathe is 45 cm long, and it smells like rotten meat. Can anybody help me with this, is it really a hybrid? Many thanks.

It may easily be gone next year and return etc. Cheers, Wilbert +More > -----Oorspronkelijk bericht----- > Van: aroid-l-bounces@gizmoworks.com > [mailto:aroid-l-bounces@gizmoworks.com] Namens M.van_Dinther@lumc.nl > Verzonden: maandag 17 mei 2010 8:18 > Aan: aroid-l@gizmoworks.com > Onderwerp: [Aroid-l] Amorphophallus konjac hybbrid? > > Some years ago I bought an Amorphophallus yunnanensis > (according to the label), Now this year it has bloomed and it > is definitely not yunnanensis, it (to me) looks more like a > hybrid between konjac and perhaps napalensis.
