Amorphophallus bangkokensis

From: "Greg Ruckert" <greg at alpacamanagement.com> on 2010.08.27 at 06:37:25(21331) I notice that the (Kew) world checklist of flowering plants regards this as a synonym for Amorphophallus paeoniifolius . To me it looks distinct. Any thoughts? Greg Ruckert HTML +More Nairne South Australia ------=_NextPart_000_0012_01CB4601.F0BC1240-- --==============v84064473493196245=

The decision to keep Am. bangkokensis separate from paeoniifolius was taken after my original idea that they were synonymous. This last opinion is in the Kew checklist but now outdated. I separated thw two again, when I got living material from Thailand of what I interpreted is bangkokensis. It is distinct from paeoniifolius mainly in vegetative characters. The inflorescence could well be a miniature paeoniifolius and is in all respects 100% identical but for the size.
