Namibian Aroids?

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?

Hi Jason,
Yes, this is the total. Pity you're not into ascleps or the utlra-succulent Aizoaceae...

I was there recently to see Victoria Falls and saw some of the common cultivated aroids, but I didn't pay much attention to them.

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.

Hmmmm.
Surely there is Lemna . . . there always is Lemna . . .
Good luck, Jason! I am sure you will have fun. It should be a great adventure.

It's a strange thing to relate, given how weedy it cxan becomoe, but in SA all Zantedeschia except albomaculata are locally restricted.
