Re: Amorphophallus ID please

Yes, I know-who - I am in a state to read the sender line of an email..... ;-)

At the frist moment I thought it was  a message from Lord P.(ossible) - that guy hasn't been around here for a while.... 

However, thanks for the possible ID-ing; it seems to fit to the picture at Alan's site
http://www4.ncsu.edu/~alan/plants/aroids/amorphophallus/dunnii/1.html

I checked the pics in the species list of the IAS but only the Yunnan species; of course SE China includes Yunnan, but there is no pic of the tuber on the IAS site.

I hope I will grow it to flowering size.

Attached there is a picture of the plant in it's habitat; unfortunately no close up of the petiole.

Thanks and happy growing,
Bernhard.

O.k., here is a possible ID-ing........ A. dunnii (judging from the oversized offsets). 

You-know-who

Amorphophiles,

would someone know which spec this might be?
It grows in China, central Yunnan province closely east from Kunming in the stoneforest (limestone) region.

Please see the attached pictures.

The position and shape of the offsets might be quite unique.
Unfortunately I did not take a picture of the petiole while it was still green; it has a nice pattern with rather  long light spots.
The wilted leaf was the second one of the season; the first one was aboout twice in hight.

Looking forward......

Happy ID-ing, Bernhard.
