Hiyer! The main plant in the University of California, Davis
collection has had a depressed globose tuber for more than a decade, then last
year it started a growing the leaf from the side of the tuber. At this point it
started making a new, elongated tuber, and shrinking the old tuber. For what it is worth. Christopher D.

var.welwitschii Dear Wilbert and Erin, This is not my group, but I have noticed over the years
that there does seem to be two vars. of forms on this type of plant, one
variety with rounder ''squat'' rhizome, and another variety or form (OR
species??) with a creeping, longer rhizome. I don`t recall which variety
demonstrates this feature, but one has small white spots under or surrounding
each spine, one does not, and I believe they each bear blooms with spathes of
different colors. The peduncles (stems on which the blooms ''stand'') are (if
my memory serves me correctly!!) of different heights. What Wilbert is saying is THE critical information
needed, he needs to see a GOOD close-up photograph of the structures on the
spadices of each variety/form!! The Best, And Good Growing! Julius >> Hi Erin, > > In Anch. difformis thinner longer and thicker
