Arisaema giganteum (or "gigas") was discovered by Li Heng and Greg Rucker=t a
few years ago. At that time Li Heng was thinking of describing it at as a
new species but she later reconsidered and merged it into A. dahaiense.
Wilbert Hetterscheid and I have the feeling Arisaema dahaiense could very
well be sold by Chen Yi this year as A-114. The tubers of A-114 are very =big
and of the galeatum-type and the flower on Chen Yi's picture of A-114
corresponds well with the pictures of A. giganteum Greg Ruckert posted on
the Internet a few years ago (what happened to him by the way?). The
pictures were not a hoax and this species MIGHT be in cultivation from no=w
on. Hope this helps.
