|
From: "Brian O'Brien" <bobrien at gustavus.edu> on 2009.10.04 at 03:05:38(20150)
Hello All,
I bought an unidentified Madagascan Amorphophallus speciesin 2001 from the Huntington Botanical Garden's International SucculentIntroductions program (it's not a succulent, but interestingnon-succulents sometimes appear in the offerings). The plant hassince flowered. I have a request in to the Huntington with regardto whether the species has been formally described, and thought that itwould be good to send the same request to aroid-l.
Here's the relevant information, via my Flickr sites:

If you have any information about this interesting plant, I wouldgreatly appreciate it if you would post it on aroid-l and/or forward itto me.
Thanks,
