[Aroid-l] Number of A. titanums in existence.

From: Don Martinson <llmen at wi.rr.com> on 2010.01.10 at 22:28:12(20454) The A. titanum at our local museum in Milwaukee is about to bloom. http://www.mpm.edu/exhibitions/featured/titan-arum/2010/ An article in the Milwaukee Journal/Sentinel stated : > The museum's corpse flower, which has never bloomed before, has its roots in > Sumatra, and only about 140 of the plants are known to exist in the world, > according to Neil Luebke, curator of botany at the museum and the stinky > plant's guardian. While I realize they aren't selling these at K-Mart as yet, the figure of 140 seems rather low to me, at least when you add in all the smaller tubers that seem to be available (at least for a price) as of late. Is this truly an accurate guess as to the number of titanums in existence?
