Tropicals & Tender Perennials: What is this?, 1 by LariAnn

The plants in the genus Dracontium and Anchomanes look very much like the juvenile in the picture shown on the first post. I have several and it is interesting to see how the smallest juvenile leaf can be entire, but as new leaves are produced, they become tripartite, then subsequent leaves are even more divided. I assume the plant goes dormant like Amorphophallus (mine do). Does the petiole have spines (small or large)?

The picture here is Anchomanes, although I have no species name for it.
