Re: [aroid-l] titanum corm storage

From: "Peter Boyce" <peterboyce at myjaring.net> on 2004.08.08 at 22:01:06(11946) Hi Linda With the recognition of Amorphophallus julaihii as a new species there are fifteen indigenous described species of Amorphophallus recorded from Borneo. Including A. julaihii there are eight species in Sarawak, viz: A. angulatus Hett. & A.Vogel, A. brachyphyllus Hett., A. eburneus Bogner, A. hewittii Alderw., A. hottae Bogner & Hett., A. infundibuliformis Hett., A Dearden & A. Vogel, A. pendulus Bogner & Mayo. Five species have been recorded from Sabah: A. hottae, A. lambii Mayo & Widjaja, A. rugosus Hett. & A. Lamb., A. tinekeae Hett. & A. Vogel and A. venustus Hett., A. Hay & J. Mood. There are so far eight species recorded from Kalimantan: A. borneensis, A. costatus Hett., A. hewittii, A. infundibuliformis, A. lambii, A. linguiformis, A. pendulus and A. prainii (the last perhaps based on a mis-labelled specimen; A. prainii is otherwise known only from West Malaysia and Sumatera). With the exception of this possibly dubious A. prainii all Bornean Amorphophallus are endemic to Borneo. The most remarkable aspect of these data is that thirteen of these fifteen species have been described within the past 25 years.
