this firm is offering a few amorphs from thailand, i
think, but the one michael mentioend is the one listed
as sp. nova Mahajanga, which wilbert tells me is a new
species.  click on the link for pics of the
inflorescence.

the sp. silver leaves could be a Pseudodracontium, but
it's not from madagascar, right, your lordness?
