Amorphophallus from Madagascar - identity request

Hello All,
   I bought an unidentified Madagascan Amorphophallus species in 2001 from the Huntington Botanical Garden's International Succulent Introductions program (it's not a succulent, but interesting non-succulents sometimes appear in the offerings).  The plant has since flowered.  I have a request in to the Huntington with regard to whether the species has been formally described, and thought that it would be good to send the same request to aroid-l.

Here's the relevant information, via my Flickr sites:

If you have any information about this interesting plant, I would greatly appreciate it if you would post it on aroid-l and/or forward it to me.

Thanks,
Brian
