Amorphophallus giganteus, Blanc. "Fl. larger than A. campanulatus (often 2 ft. across) and much more pleasing in color, shading from deep red to cream-color toward the center. The club-shaped spadix is dark maroon, with yellow and red base. After flowering, the foliage-st. appears,—a stout st. of deep green color, mottled with gray. After growing at the rate of several inches a day, it expands into a large palm-like lf., of a rich, dark green color, often measuring 5 ft. across." Blanc, 1892, received "under this name from India." A. campanulatus (?). Probably not the A. giganteus of Blume.
