Betr: new site/Pinellia question

[pbruggeman at TISCALI.NL]

Bonaventure,

I think this plant looks more like a member of the Arisaema prazeri/yunnanense/bathycoleum
alliance, very unlikely a Pinellia. To my knowledge no Pinellia species has
such a long hanging spadix, all basically have an upright appendix.

Found this site while researching Musella lasiocarpa which I just purchased
from a roadside nursery yesterday.
