Hi Stephan,.
Lord p. is the pseudonym for Wilbert Hetterscheid.
http://translate.Google.de/translate?HL=…rt_Hetterscheidor in the original:
http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wilbert_Hetterscheid
The name was probably invented in the aroid L (
http://www.aroid.org/aroidl-archive/about.php ,
http://www.aroid.org/aroidl-archive/ ,
http://www.hort.net/lists/aroid-l/ ) or him sealed in, or himself first used even by him.
As the world's leading taxonomist for the genus of Amorphophallus the pseudonym Lord was his phallus close. A name in the aroid-L, in which many Americans were registered and are also more frequently (Puritan) indignation aroused.
As Wilbert was but absolutely not humor free and not only Puritan aroider, but more outrage has used many British humour in the aroid L wrote, obviously not much and the acronym Lord p. was (initially) most commonly used.
In the course of time the name was transformed also often depending on occasion:
Lord P.(hallus)
Lord P.(halloid)
Lord P.(rofound)
Lord P.(hantom) of all Amorphophallus
Lord. P.(ositive)

And then there was also a poet in the aroid l:
There what the one known as "Lord P"
Amorphophallus suited him to a "T"
Whether konjac, stipitatus
Titanum, or lunatus
On expert, we all would agree.
The last variant of the name has in its Wilbert Hetterscheid helped him doing himself:
Lord Phalless
This name had the quite bitter taste in the mouth, that the University of Wageningen, decided in July 2009 to close the Botanical Garden and to lay off any workers, making Wilbert Hetterscheid (amopho) phalless in the truest sense of the word.

Happy growing, Bernhard.
P.S.: as the specialist for and keeper of the genus Amorphophallus he has kept of course none of this, that people only of hybrids between species have thought. He was always more anxious the die(Wild-) keep types in. He has expressed that on occasion then in clear words.
