Re: Is this Dracontium gigas?

Just as an aside, I was looking at the Aroid.org page of Dracontiums, wasn't there a Dracontium prancei, and if so, what happened to it?

Beautiful plant.

I used to have a key to Dracontium . . . but I cannot seem to find it. It has been more than 15 years since I grew them; too long. If I can find it, I will see what I can do.

Happy days,
Christopher

Aroiders,

I'm posting this for Bernhard Strolka, while we sort out why he can't
post to Aroid-L himself. I believe he can still see posts to the lists,
so he should see your replies, but if not I'll forward them to him.

Aroiders,

I have a plant obtained as D. gigas, but I am not sure if this is really
a gigas.

Could you kindly have a look at the pictures displayed here (close ups
of the flower attached; pic of the leaf in the first link):

I asked Steve Jackson since I saw a D. gigas at the Cairns Bot Garden in
2016 where I met Steve; however, Steve has the impression that my plant
is not a D. gigas, but something different.

The leaf is about 2,20 m high.

Any ideas what I grow?

Kind regards,
Bernhard.
