Re: [Aroid-l] Amorphophallus impressus question

From: "Wilbert Hetterscheid" <hetter at xs4all.nl> on 2010.07.25 at 10:51:08(21249) Hi Guys, I have seen a few very young leaves of impressus with hairs. It is a juvenile aspect that is very erratically spread over a few east African species and then within these species. Even the red spots may be nothing more than a juvenile character and disappear with age. That doesn't rule out that the plants are not really impressus but that will only become apparent when they flower.......
