Amorphophallus konjac or rivieri?

Sorry about that!  Its 2:15 AM and my brain is not fully on!

The accepted name is Amorphophallus konjac K. Koch published in 1858.

Amorphophallus rivieri Durieu ex Carrière  was published 1869

First publication wins the prize.

I see many people refer to konjac as rivieri.

What is the story behind that?  Is rivieri an old name, or what?

Just curious....
