PARENTAGE:
Amorphophallus sp. 'Tuléar' × Amorphophallus taurostigma
HYBRIDIZER:
Christian Treder
DESCRIPTION:
Claudel calls this a very showy cross, made by Christian Treder between Amorphophallus sp. 'Tuléar' (female) and Amorphophallus taurostigma 'White Veins' (male).¹ It shows that a white rhachis can be passed on through crossing, a trait Claudel thinks may appear more often in future hybrids.¹
