Dear Marek,

 

this plant is Tacca leontopetaloides.

I found a tuber of this plant 2 years ago in Gambia.

Hello all!

 

Today I got these photos to identify, but I think the plant isn't a member of Araceae. What can you say about this?

Subject: Possibly unidentified aroid

Good day.  We found this unusual plant growing in a pot at a nursery in south Florida and the nursery owner, considering it a weed, gave it to us.  From its growth habit, we first considered it an aroid; however, since the blooms are opening, we're not sure at all.  For size reference, the plant is pictured growing in a 1-gallon pot and there is approximately a 2-week span between the first pictures of the buds and then the buds opening.  Please let me know if I can be of any further assistance and I definitely appreciate whatever help you can give us.

Best regards,

Monica MacLeod
