Re: [aroid-l] Selloum/Bipinnatifidum

Hi, I'm a member and enjoy the various Amorphophallus Species.  At last
year's show in Miami, I purchased several un-named "tubers" from a man from
Thailand. Several of them are now in leaf. Who can I email the photos to to
try to identify the tubers. Some of them are very unusual.  Ron Kessler
