Dear Peter,

Dear Christopher,

thanks for the quick ID!

Any chance to get an opinion on the ssp.?

I'll ask what he spent for that juwel.

Happy growing, Bernhard.

Hi Bernhard,

This is Arum italicum ? hope the aroider didn?t spend too much to buy for what is a garden weed in much of southern Europe?

Aroiders,

a fellow aroider from our German forum

( http://www.amorphophallus-forum.de/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=1513 - sorry pictures only visible for registered people)

got via ebay an Anrum palaestinum, which was probably misslabled.

Candidates are:

A. concinnatum, but spadix is probaly too short for this...

A. italicum, since anthers are yellow, not purple; but if it is italiucum, which ssp.?

Please have a look at the attached pictures.

Happy ID-ing, Bernhard.
