Re: New aroid in western Australia?

---

I've seen several web hits today on this topic, all of which seem to wind
up at the same text. The articles all call the plant an "arum lily", don't
give a genus or other botanical information, say that it was found in the
Kimberly region by Matthew Barrett (Perth's Kings Park & Botanic Garden)
along with other various new species in that remote area, and that the
infloresence smells of burnt electrical wire.

Here's a representative link:

The picture is *an* aroid, but no idea if it's that aroid; one of the
other articles showed a picture of Zantedeschia aethiopica with the same
text.

Anyone happen to know more about this? I dug through the KP&BG web site a
bit but didn't find anything.
