Re: Amorphophallus konjac or rivieri?

Ken, that's what I thought, but I seem to see it in use more and more often!

Including Dave's Garden Plantfiles... I wanted to send them a note correcting them on the name (I've also seen it Am. rivieri var konjac) but wanted to check here first.

I guess it's a bit of a pet peeve of mine!
