[Aroid-l] Amorphophallus tuber?

From: crogers at ecoanalysts.com (D. Christopher Rogers) on 2007.08.17 at 17:17:30(16112) Hiyer, Wilbert! So, my first thought had been Anchomanes. You say no. Why am I wrong? What salient characters did I miss? Happy days, Christopher +More D. Christopher Rogers Invertebrate Ecologist/Taxonomist ((,///////////=====< EcoAnalysts, Inc.

Bernhard, I don't think it is an Amorph. First off it seems to have the shape of a short rhizome, unknown in African Amorphs. Next, every bud on the sides of the rhizome seem to have one or two big leaf/inflorescence scars, also not the way an Amorph grows. It must be another type of aroid. It is also not Anchomanes. I would sooner think it may be Lasimorpha or something.
