Tropicals & Tender Perennials: My special mystery aroid, 1 by tropicbreeze

Catzgalore, it's a local native, Lariann wouldn't have come across it and wouldn't recognise it. I did get a tentative ID from one of THE aroid experts (from a photo) who believes it's a Typhonium and probably a new undescribed species. He has described 8 out of our 11 recorded Typhoniums so has a good knowledge of them.

Themoonhowl, I checked but definitely not. This one is an aroid, Sagittaria is in a different family. The leaves are very similar but the flowers are totally different. That Sagittaria is an interesting plant, quite a common vegetable in some parts of the world. I hadn't heard of it before.

This is one clump of plants spread out. Three plants with flowers at different stages: bottom one the flower is spent, middle one flower just developing, top one flower open. At the very top are some immature plants.
