Re: New aroid in western Australia?

**&* D* <p*@zoominternet.net>**

A few years ago (2004) a person in OZ sent me some pics of Typhonium he had

collected way up north near Darwin where he lived, but after awhile he

seemed to fall of the face of the Earth. I believe he had communicated with

a few of the senior (in knowledge, not years) members of the aroid-l or at

least I had suggested he do that....do not know if he ever did to be honest.

Anyway, I thought since I have the pics I would share them. On was IDed has

T. flagelliforme at the time by I believe Wilbert, but again it has been

many years....some cute little fellas anyway. I hope they attach to the

message OK,

Subject: [Aroid-l] 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:

http://www.perthnow.com.au/news/western-australia/new-lily-found-in-kimberley-smells-like-burnt-electrics/story-e6frg14u-1225991862095

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.
