David:

I figured it had to be a synonym...interesting that the name Z. spengeri 

is still being used in new patent applications.

Dear Tony,

It is listed as a synonym of Z. pentlandii in Kew World Checklist ...

Z. pentlandii was described in Gartenflora ... I can check tomorrow if 

there is a plate with the description if you are interested ...

With best regards,

Aroiders:

In researching some of the new fancy flowered callas, many are being 

patented as selections or hybrids of Z. sprengeri.  I found this name 

originating in the Kew Bulletin in 1924, but not much else.  Any ideas 

if this is a valid species, and if so, where has it been hiding?  Any 

input would be most appreciated.
