Re: [Aroid-l] Amorphophallus konjac or rivieri?

From: ronmchatton at aol.com on 2010.02.10 at 12:51:29(20560) Amorphophallus konjac was first described by Schott as Conophallus konjac in 1856 and then as Amorphophallus konjac by Koch in 1858. The name Amorphophallus rivieri did not appear until 1870 giving Am. konjac priority.

I see many people refer to konjac as rivieri. What is the story behind that? Is rivieri an old name, or what? Just curious....
