Re: [Aroid-l] Amorphophallus tuber?

Folks,

a late (final) response....

Thanks for the nice conversation; and I think, it was a nice lesson, too.

After Lord P(remature) gave a first suggestion, I believed him (as usual) - who am I to question what he utters?

However, someone else did and he finally changed to Lord P(icky) and corrected himself - Chapeau! And no reason to apologize... And a nice rest of your holidays......... :-)

Best,

Bernhard.

Hi there Christopher and Bernhard,

I pulled my mind out of the swamp it is in this holiday and reconsidered my
position on the tuber: it may indeed be an Amchomanes as Christopher
suggests and I rejected in my previous post. I noticed upon further looking
that there are a few roots left on it which seem to be as thick as is usual
in Anchomanes. I missed the roots, which are semi-permanent in Anchomanes
but must have been removed. It is a trifle stupid that the collector made no
picture of the leaf when it was still on the plant, or conveniently didn't
show them................

Cheerio,
Lord P(ardon me).
