Lord Phallus has fallen silent on this one. Yes, there must be several
cultivars going around in the world although until recently mostly only one
with a largely dark green petiole and only few pale pinkish spots and some
white punctiform dots. Today, with the influx of material from China, we may
indeed expect other cultivars with different behaviour. Unfortunately I have
no relevant literature describing cultivars of A. konjac.
