Dear Bonaventure:
In 2000, the plants sent by Chen Yi as Amorphophallus stipitatus
(A-101/00) were A. yunnanensis.
The plants sent as Amorphophallus kerrii (A-103/00) were A. albus (not A.
albispathus)
The plants sent as Amorphophallus sp. 1 (A-102/00) were A. konjac
All of these plants seem to have a typical dormancy with no cold temps
required here. Lord Hetterscheid would be able to address any other
peculiarities with these species.
