maurizio Posted December 8, 2007 Report Share Posted December 8, 2007 (edited) Hi all, I have got the photo of this plant by a friend of mine who has taken it in a botanical garden. Unfortunately there was no botanical name on it. Anyone knows if it is a botanical species or an hybrid? is a botanical species its Latin name and the distribution of the plant? Thanks a lot Cheers Maurizio Edited December 8, 2007 by maurizio Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenBen Posted December 11, 2007 Report Share Posted December 11, 2007 Hmm, that's an interesting one... Initially I thought it looked a bit like Pseudohydrosme, but when I look up Pseudohydrosme in my books it's not right. Could be an Amorphophallus (they are quite variable in form)... why not email the botanic garden with the picture and ask them what it is (they also may need to know when your friend saw it)? Just let us know as well! greenBen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I grow a few varieties of arums, but have never seen one quite like the specimen in your picture. Simba Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Treefrog Posted December 21, 2007 Report Share Posted December 21, 2007 It seems like a Dracontium sp. maybe D. podophyllum. Sincerely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
