Re: Amorphophallus from Madagascar - identity request

**&* H* <h*@xs4all.nl>**

Hi Brian,

Somebody made a mistake with labels. The label belongs to a series of plants
from Roeoesli & Hoffman, all A. taurostigma or a species clolesy allied
(Madagascar). The plant in your flowering pictures is the N. Thai - S.
Chinese - Burmese Am. kachinensis.

Cheers,
Wilbert
