Re: Pseudodracontium lacourii ID?

Ken is ALMOST right, it is Am. serrulatus, a close relative of Am. obscurus.

Dear newbies to Amorphophallus: please have a look at the
Amorphophallus/Pseudodracontium pages on the IAS website. They should be
updated (my fault) but there is enough to see and read for an introduction
on what is an Amorphophallus and what not. Use the resources that are freely
available!
