AMORPHOPHALLUS ANDRANOGIDROENSIS × AMORPHOPHALLUS CONSIMILIS

Hybrid

PARENTAGE:

Amorphophallus andranogidroensis × Amorphophallus consimilis

HYBRIDIZER:

Stephan Muller; Ralph Mangelsdorff

DESCRIPTION:

Claudel considers these very showy hybrids that are easy to cultivate.¹ The cross joins a Madagascan species, Amorphophallus andranogidroensis (female), with a continental African one, Amorphophallus consimilis (male), which Claudel calls interesting but not as unlikely as Amorphophallus consimilis x Amorphophallus konjac.¹
