Namibian Aroids?

From: Jason Hernandez <jason.hernandez74 at yahoo.com> on 2012.07.02 at 19:56:23(22684) I am shortly to leave as a Peace Corps Volunteer in Namibia. I found an online checklist of flora of southern Africa, searched "Araceae" and "Namibia," and got exactly two returns: Amorphophallus abyssinicus and the exotic Pistia stratiotes. Is this truly a correct result -- that these are the only two Araceae occurring in Namibia?

From: George Yao <geoyao at gmail.com> on 2012.07.03 at 12:26:51(22687) Jason, Sorry for the mix-up. We went to Zambia to see Victoria Falls, then we went to Botswana wherein part of our tour was along the border of Namibia. In both countries, I saw some of the commonly cultivated aroids. I suppose Namibia had them, too. Attached is a picture of some at the hotel we stayed in in Botswana.
