Hello,
I've got an ID request, the person asks if
it may be an aroid.
In this phase and condition it seems to be
impossible what plant it is.
Plants of the Araceae produce roots just below the
leaf bud.
This one has no roots at all, it can be the top of
an aroid tuber,
but it can also belong to any bulbous plants
like Tulipa or Hyacinthus
What do you think?

Subject: Plant ID request Dear helpful person from the Aroid Identification
Center, I am writing to you with a rather unusual
request. We received some images from a plant (presumable a Araceae)
that was found by customs at the New Zealand border. The plant was in a rather bad (rotten) stage and I can't
identify it. I thought you might be able to help and could at least
confirm that the object in the picture is indeed a corm of a Araceae. Maybe
Dracunculus? The plant arrived from the UK. This all I
know. I am grateful for any comment best wishes Ines Ines Schönberger,
