Typhonium.<\/em> ??<\/p>\n

\n

Yes, it is\u00a0Typhonium<\/em>\u00a0Sp.<\/p>\n

\n

Not Typhonium<\/em> but the related genus Theriophonum,<\/em> this looks to be Theriophonum infaustum<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\n

It is\u00a0Theriophonum,<\/em> but the flower height is bigger than flower of my plant. Maximum length of my flower is 05cm (five centimeters) or less.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

That is the normal size of the spathes of Theriophonum infaustum<\/em>. When you look at the page for this species on the International Aroid Society<\/a> you will see pictures of plants grown from a collection I originally made of this species in the Idukki District.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,<\/em> cut the spathes open and picture the internal organs as those are the most important for identification.<\/p>\n

\n

Yes, it is\u00a0Theriophonum infaustum<\/em>. …, my plant is growing in the border of Idukki district in 70% Idukki’s climate.\u00a0 Thank you very much for ID my plant and sharing more information about this<\/p>\n
