Some earlier relevant feedback:
Typhonium. ?? Thank you. Saroj Kasaju |
Yes, it is Typhonium Sp. dear Saroj ji, kind regards, Sam. |
Not Typhonium but the related genus Theriophonum, this looks to be Theriophonum infaustum.
Hope this helps,
Pascal
That is the normal size of the spathes of Theriophonum infaustum. When you look at the page for this species on the International Aroid Society (http://www.aroid.org/genera/speciespage.php?genus=theriophonum&species=infaustum) you will see pictures of plants grown from a collection I originally made of this species in the Idukki District. One of the pictures you will see part of a finger for size reference. But I want to stress as always if people want ID's of an Araceae, cut the spathes open and picture the internal organs as those are the most important for identification.
