Arten aus Zentralthailand (Kanchanaburi)

Hello dear Amorphophallus friends,

I'm just in Central Thailand. The area is really beautiful: you can excellent hiking, eat, bathe in waterfalls and much much more! I was traveling with the mountain bike in the area around Sai Yok and found five or six different types of Amorphophallus, which I partially hard do something me with determination. Perhaps ye I'm pretty sure for some, for others, I have no idea.

Just FYI: I've taken very very few plants from nature and was extremely careful and gentle on stock!

We started with type no. 1) the largest plants I've found were about 80-90 cm tall, grew almost always between larger stones. The plants show no patterning on the stem, forming daughter tubers, but no bulblets. Here the photos:

Type No. 2) this I've seen just one tree, which I also took. The plant was about 150 cm tall and really extremely rough, almost prickly, very bright stalk was striking. The large, round tuber shows a small new outgrowth on the side, which may even be a Cormel... Blattbulbillen seems not to train the way. Here the photos:

Art No. 3) this I have seen some, but unearthed only one. The plants were about 120 cm tall and beautiful. The stem is speckled and velvety shimmer. The type seems to make Cormels nor Blattbulbillen. There's also no smaller plants nearby. Here are photos:

Type No. 4) the way was very common at one point, there were determined 80 plants. So between 30 and 40 cm in height, and each plant was a Blattbulbille huge for your size at its Center. I have taken some bulblets and excavated a tuber to learn how she look. Here come the photos of this pretty small type:

Art No. 5) the way initially not occurred to me. Quite inconspicuous, she stood there with her 40 cm. The leaves are hairy on the bottom right quite thin and especially. This type seems to proliferate on daughter tubers in the ground.

And now to the very mysterious No. 6) here I found only these bulblet along the way. However, this is the largest sheet bulb, I've ever seen and I don't know what type of such bulblets breeds... Here are two photos:

Have fun puzzling!

Best regards and good night!

Hi Thorsten,

enviably located...

No. 2 looks to me after the wild type by paeoniifolius so it's probably not so tragic that you "very carefully and gently stock" "have removed this only from nature"...
(Quotation fragments from your preface... :icon_winkgrin:

)

No. 3 is a maxwellii, which comes as a kind of Thailand...

I must fit with the others.

The thick bulblet of no. 4 could be maybe so typical that a skilled person can identify them...
As well might the hairy underside of thin sheet of Nr. 5 be typical...

I send any more mail to the aroid-L, where sometimes check out the real experts...

Have a nice holiday yet,.
Bernhard.

P.S.: If you don't mind, would I upload the images would still on the Forum server... - see: embedding external images disabled

Good morning

Yes, those were exactly my two guesses... For the rest, I'm also at a loss...

The only wild A. paeonifolius I've dug out without other plants it around to trample or damage

Thanks for the help and of course I don't mind if you upload the photos. I could here not so shrink them inside would have adapted. Should I put anything in the Forum of Thailand from, I would have to do it exactly so again... At home I do then also again good photos upload... :icon_angel:

Best regards!

Thorsten

Wilbert Hetterscheid spricht.....

....über die aroid-L:

"Nr. 1 is probably A. curvistylis. The rest has been commented upon or the materials are too general to identify (at least by me).

Cheers,
Wilbert"
