Greetings:  here is a slightly edited copy of a message I received from
Wilbert.  The mistery of photo 129 seems to be solved.  We shall wait
further developments.  Dick

Dear Dick,

I had a look recently at this phalloid photo by Charles Marsden Fitch. 
This is a plant from the same clone you'll see in Aroideana Vol. 19 under 
Am. parvulus! In fact, I got material of this via Bogner, who got it from 
Fitch himself. Only this week have I learned from additional material 
from Thailand, that it is NOT Am. parvulus and most probably an 
undescribed species! I have always counted with this because there are a 
few characters in Fitch's plant that do not fit the type of Am. parvulus. 
Now that I have had a REAL parvulus flowering, I saw these differences 
confirmed. So you can tell Mr. Fitch this story and if he wants to, he 
can co-author the species with me. If you have his current address, can 
you email it to me?

Cheers, Wilbert
