Re: Amorphophallus kerrii

From: Tony Avent tony at plantdel.com> on 2001.02.15 at 18:22:52(5946) Dear Bonaventure: In 2000, the plants sent by Chen Yi as Amorphophallus stipitatus (A-101/00) were A. yunnanensis. The plants sent as Amorphophallus kerrii (A-103/00) were A. albus (not A. albispathus) The plants sent as Amorphophallus sp. 1 (A-102/00) were A. konjac All of these plants seem to have a typical dormancy with no cold temps required here. Lord Hetterscheid would be able to address any other peculiarities with these species.
