Amorphophallus Tubers from Thailand

**R* K* <k*@sandiego.edu>**

Hi All,

     I just received some Amorphophallus tubers from a Thai nursery and 
have more than I really need or have space to grow.  These tubers came 
originally from limestone cliffs in the Umphang district of Tak province 
in western Thailand near the Myanmar border, an area not commonly 
visited by Amorphophallus collectors.  These tubers have not yet been 
identified, so I can't tell you what species they are.  In fact, it's 
likely that the group of tubers I have includes more than one species.  
Some of the tubers in the Thai nursery have leafed out already, and I've 
been told that the plants display a range of leaf shapes and petiole 
patterns.  These tubers are 2-3 inches long and very slender, a typical 
shape for Amorphophallus aberrans, A. harmandii, A. linearis and several 
other species from this region.

     I have tubers from five different collection sites.  If you're 
interested, please contact me off-list at rskusd@gmail.com.

     Thanks!

Ron Kaufmann
