I have a question to the genus of my plant. I thought it is Amorphophallus konyac (Amorphophallus rivieri ). I also thought Dracontium...his twin brother in América.


Amorphophallus and Dracontium are distinguished by the inflorescencem which is slightly smaller in Dracontium, also by the tuber orbed. I have not seen the tuber...much less its flowers. My plant is young and newly acquired.


What do you think? Is it Amorphophallus or Dracontium ? I thought it is Amorphophallus konyac...

Hola, Anapatty. Welcome to Dave's Garden. I found these links that may be of use to you. I always confuse the two, so cannot be of help choosing correct genus.
