Re: Amorphophallus

From: "Wilbert Hetterscheid" hetter at worldonline.nl> on 2001.03.29 at 21:25:51(6113) Dear Chris, I LOVE it: TWO tubers out of a potential 180 species, and you ask which ones they are. You know, there IS a limit to magic!!!!! Having said that, the #1 sounds like A. konjac, provided the offsets are on long rhizomatous structures. Both bulbifer and muelleri (wrongly named blumei by you, I guess......) have NO offset development. Maybe, the pale one is krausei, provided you got it from me, directly or indirectly. GOOD LUCK!!!
